About B53BYZZ

B53BYZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedure on the right lower extremity veins using an other contrast approach with none (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) means computer reformatted digital display of multiplanar images developed from the capture of radiofrequency signals emitted by nuclei in a body site excited within a magnetic field.

In plain terms, this corresponds to magnetic resonance imaging of other and unspecified sites, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (88.97).

For a different body part, codes include B531YZZ (cerebral and cerebellar veins), B532YZZ (intracranial sinuses), B535YZZ (bilateral jugular veins), B538YZZ (superior vena cava), B539YZZ (inferior vena cava), B53CYZZ (left lower extremity veins) and 9 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded B53BZZZ (none).

With a different device, use B53BY0Z (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.
