B4000ZZPlain Radiography of Abdominal Aorta using High Osmolar Contrast

B4000ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the abdominal aorta using a high 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 Aortography, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (88.42).

For a different body part, codes include B4020ZZ (hepatic artery), B4030ZZ (splenic arteries), B4040ZZ (superior mesenteric artery), B4050ZZ (inferior mesenteric artery), B4060ZZ (right renal artery), B4070ZZ (left renal artery) and 9 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded B4001ZZ (low osmolar) and B400YZZ (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.
