About B50SYZZ

B50SYZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the bilateral pulmonary veins 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 phlebography of pulmonary veins using contrast material, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (88.62).

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 B50S0ZZ (high osmolar) and B50S1ZZ (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.
