About B33RY0Z

B33RY0Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedure on the intracranial 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 brain and brain stem, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (88.91).

For a different body part, codes include B330Y0Z (thoracic aorta), B335Y0Z (bilateral common carotid arteries), B338Y0Z (bilateral internal carotid arteries), B33GY0Z (bilateral vertebral arteries), B33HY0Z (right upper extremity arteries), B33JY0Z (left upper extremity arteries) and 3 more.

With a different device, use B33RYZZ (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.

Common questions about B33RY0Z

Is B33RY0Z a valid ICD-10-PCS code for 2027?

Yes. B33RY0Z is valid for inpatient procedures from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

What is the ICD-9 procedure code for B33RY0Z?

The CMS GEMs map B33RY0Z to ICD-9-CM 88.91 (Magnetic resonance imaging of brain and brain stem).
