B519YZAFluoroscopy of Inferior Vena Cava using Other Contrast, Guidance

B519YZA is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fluoroscopy procedure on the inferior vena cava using an other contrast 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 angiocardiography of venae cavae, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (88.51).

For a different body part, codes include B510YZA (epidural veins), B511YZA (cerebral and cerebellar veins), B512YZA (intracranial sinuses), B513YZA (right jugular veins), B514YZA (left jugular veins), B515YZA (bilateral jugular veins) and 21 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded B5190ZA (high osmolar), B5191ZA (low osmolar) and B519ZZA (none).

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.
