About B5290ZZ

B5290ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a computerized tomography (CT scan) procedure on the inferior vena cava using a high osmolar approach with none (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 B5220ZZ (intracranial sinuses), B5280ZZ (superior vena cava), B52F0ZZ (right pelvic (iliac) veins), B52G0ZZ (left pelvic (iliac) veins), B52H0ZZ (bilateral pelvic (iliac) veins), B52J0ZZ (right renal vein) and 6 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded B5291ZZ (low osmolar), B529YZZ (other contrast) and B529ZZZ (none).

With a different device, use B52900Z (unenhanced and enhanced).

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.
