About B51SZZZ

B51SZZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fluoroscopy procedure on the bilateral pulmonary veins using a none approach with none (qualifier: none). 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 B510ZZZ (epidural veins), B511ZZZ (cerebral and cerebellar veins), B512ZZZ (intracranial sinuses), B513ZZZ (right jugular veins), B514ZZZ (left jugular veins), B515ZZZ (bilateral jugular veins) and 21 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded B51S0ZZ (high osmolar), B51S1ZZ (low osmolar) and B51SYZZ (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.
