About B246ZZZ

B246ZZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a ultrasonography procedure on the heart, right and left using a none approach with none (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, ultrasonography means real time display of images of anatomy or flow information developed from the capture of reflected and attenuated high frequency sound waves.

In plain terms, this corresponds to intracardiac echocardiography and diagnostic ultrasound of heart, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (37.28 and 88.72).

For a different body part, codes include B240ZZZ (coronary artery, single), B241ZZZ (coronary arteries, multiple), B244ZZZ (right heart), B245ZZZ (left heart), B24BZZZ (heart with aorta), B24CZZZ (pericardium) and 1 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded B246YZZ (other contrast).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
