About B3071ZZ

B3071ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the left internal 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 cerebral arteries, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (88.41).

For a different body part, codes include B3001ZZ (thoracic aorta), B3011ZZ (right brachiocephalic-subclavian artery), B3021ZZ (left subclavian artery), B3031ZZ (right common carotid artery), B3041ZZ (left common carotid artery), B3051ZZ (bilateral common carotid arteries) and 19 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded B3070ZZ (high osmolar), B307YZZ (other contrast) and B307ZZZ (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.
