B40DYZZPlain Radiography of Aorta and Bilateral Lower Extremity Arteries using Other Contrast

B40DYZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the aorta and bilateral lower extremity arteries using an other contrast 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 B400YZZ (abdominal aorta), B402YZZ (hepatic artery), B403YZZ (splenic arteries), B404YZZ (superior mesenteric artery), B405YZZ (inferior mesenteric artery), B406YZZ (right renal artery) and 9 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded B40D0ZZ (high osmolar) and B40D1ZZ (low osmolar).

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.
