About B3041ZZ
B3041ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the left common carotid artery using a low 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 arteriography of other specified sites, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (88.49).
For a different body part, codes include B3001ZZ (thoracic aorta), B3011ZZ (right brachiocephalic-subclavian artery), B3021ZZ (left subclavian artery), B3031ZZ (right common carotid artery), B3051ZZ (bilateral common carotid arteries), B3061ZZ (right internal carotid artery) and 19 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded B3040ZZ (high osmolar), B304YZZ (other contrast) and B304ZZZ (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.
