About B33GY0Z
B33GY0Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedure on the bilateral vertebral arteries using an other contrast approach with unenhanced and enhanced (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) means computer reformatted digital display of multiplanar images developed from the capture of radiofrequency signals emitted by nuclei in a body site excited within a magnetic field.
In plain terms, this corresponds to magnetic resonance imaging of other and unspecified sites, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (88.97).
For a different body part, codes include B330Y0Z (thoracic aorta), B335Y0Z (bilateral common carotid arteries), B338Y0Z (bilateral internal carotid arteries), B33HY0Z (right upper extremity arteries), B33JY0Z (left upper extremity arteries), B33KY0Z (bilateral upper extremity arteries) and 3 more.
With a different device, use B33GYZZ (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.
