About B5010ZZ

B5010ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the cerebral and cerebellar veins 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 phlebography of veins of head and neck using contrast material, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (88.61).

For a different body part, codes include B5000ZZ (epidural veins), B5020ZZ (intracranial sinuses), B5030ZZ (right jugular veins), B5040ZZ (left jugular veins), B5050ZZ (bilateral jugular veins), B5060ZZ (right subclavian vein) and 21 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded B5011ZZ (low osmolar) and B501YZZ (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.
