B319010Fluoroscopy of Right External Carotid Artery using High Osmolar Contrast, Laser Intraoperative

B319010 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fluoroscopy procedure on the right external carotid artery using a high osmolar approach with laser (qualifier: intraoperative). In ICD-10-PCS, fluoroscopy means single plane or bi-plane real time display of an image developed from the capture of external ionizing radiation on a fluorescent screen. The image may also be stored by either digital or analog means.

In plain terms, this corresponds to non-coronary intra-operative fluorescence vascular angiography [IFVA], the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (17.71).

For a different body part, codes include B310010 (thoracic aorta), B311010 (right brachiocephalic-subclavian artery), B312010 (left subclavian artery), B313010 (right common carotid artery), B314010 (left common carotid artery), B315010 (bilateral common carotid arteries) and 20 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded B319110 (low osmolar) and B319Y10 (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.
