B3000ZZPlain Radiography of Thoracic Aorta using High Osmolar Contrast

B3000ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the thoracic aorta using a high osmolar approach with none (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, plain radiography means planar display of an image developed from the capture of external ionizing radiation on photographic or photoconductive plate.

In plain terms, this corresponds to Aortography, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (88.42).

For a different body part, codes include B3010ZZ (right brachiocephalic-subclavian artery), B3020ZZ (left subclavian artery), B3030ZZ (right common carotid artery), B3040ZZ (left common carotid artery), B3050ZZ (bilateral common carotid arteries), B3060ZZ (right internal carotid artery) and 19 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded B3001ZZ (low osmolar), B300YZZ (other contrast) and B300ZZZ (none).

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.
