About B70BYZZ

B70BYZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the bilateral lower extremity lymphatics using an other contrast 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 lymphangiogram of lower limb, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (88.36).

For a different body part, codes include B700YZZ (abdominal/retroperitoneal lymphatics, unilateral), B701YZZ (bilateral abdominal/retroperitoneal lymphatics), B704YZZ (lymphatics, head and neck), B705YZZ (right upper extremity lymphatics), B706YZZ (left upper extremity lymphatics), B707YZZ (bilateral upper extremity lymphatics) and 3 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded B70B0ZZ (high osmolar) and B70B1ZZ (low osmolar).

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.
