B508YZZPlain Radiography of Superior Vena Cava using Other Contrast

B508YZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the superior vena cava 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 angiocardiography of venae cavae, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (88.51).

For a different body part, codes include B500YZZ (epidural veins), B501YZZ (cerebral and cerebellar veins), B502YZZ (intracranial sinuses), B503YZZ (right jugular veins), B504YZZ (left jugular veins), B505YZZ (bilateral jugular veins) and 21 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded B5080ZZ (high osmolar) and B5081ZZ (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.
