About B52210Z

B52210Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a computerized tomography (CT scan) procedure on the intracranial sinuses using a low osmolar approach with unenhanced and enhanced (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, computerized tomography (CT scan) means computer reformatted digital display of multiplanar images developed from the capture of multiple exposures of external ionizing radiation.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other computerized axial tomography, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (88.38).

For a different body part, codes include B52810Z (superior vena cava), B52910Z (inferior vena cava), B52F10Z (right pelvic (iliac) veins), B52G10Z (left pelvic (iliac) veins), B52H10Z (bilateral pelvic (iliac) veins), B52J10Z (right renal vein) and 6 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded B52200Z (high osmolar) and B522Y0Z (other contrast).

With a different device, use B5221ZZ (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.
