About B320Z2Z

B320Z2Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a computerized tomography (CT scan) procedure on the thoracic aorta using a none approach with intravascular optical coherence (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, computerized tomography (CT scan) means computer reformatted digital display of multiplanar images developed from the capture of multiple exposures of external ionizing radiation.

In plain terms, this corresponds to intravascular imaging of non-coronary vessel(s) by optical coherence tomography [OCT], the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.25).

For a different body part, codes include B325Z2Z (bilateral common carotid arteries), B328Z2Z (bilateral internal carotid arteries), B32GZ2Z (bilateral vertebral arteries), B32RZ2Z (intracranial arteries), B32SZ2Z (right pulmonary artery) and B32TZ2Z (left pulmonary artery).

With a different device, use B320ZZZ (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.
