About B52800Z

B52800Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a computerized tomography (CT scan) procedure on the superior vena cava using a high 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 B52200Z (intracranial sinuses), B52900Z (inferior vena cava), B52F00Z (right pelvic (iliac) veins), B52G00Z (left pelvic (iliac) veins), B52H00Z (bilateral pelvic (iliac) veins), B52J00Z (right renal vein) and 6 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded B52810Z (low osmolar) and B528Y0Z (other contrast).

With a different device, use B5280ZZ (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.
