B7040ZZPlain Radiography of Head and Neck Lymphatics using High Osmolar Contrast

B7040ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the lymphatics, head and neck using a high osmolar approach with none (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, plain radiography means planar display of an image developed from the capture of external ionizing radiation on photographic or photoconductive plate.

In plain terms, this corresponds to cervical lymphangiogram, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (87.08).

For a different body part, codes include B7000ZZ (abdominal/retroperitoneal lymphatics, unilateral), B7010ZZ (bilateral abdominal/retroperitoneal lymphatics), B7050ZZ (right upper extremity lymphatics), B7060ZZ (left upper extremity lymphatics), B7070ZZ (bilateral upper extremity lymphatics), B7080ZZ (right lower extremity lymphatics) and 3 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded B7041ZZ (low osmolar) and B704YZZ (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.
