B511ZZAFluoroscopy of Cerebral and Cerebellar Veins, Guidance

B511ZZA is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fluoroscopy procedure on the cerebral and cerebellar veins using a none approach with none (qualifier: guidance). In ICD-10-PCS, fluoroscopy means single plane or bi-plane real time display of an image developed from the capture of external ionizing radiation on a fluorescent screen. The image may also be stored by either digital or analog means.

In plain terms, this corresponds to x-ray, other and unspecified, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (88.39).

For a different body part, codes include B510ZZA (epidural veins), B512ZZA (intracranial sinuses), B513ZZA (right jugular veins), B514ZZA (left jugular veins), B515ZZA (bilateral jugular veins), B516ZZA (right subclavian vein) and 21 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded B5110ZA (high osmolar), B5111ZA (low osmolar) and B511YZA (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.
