About B929ZZZ

B929ZZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a computerized tomography (CT scan) procedure on the bilateral submandibular glands using a none 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 computerized axial tomography of head, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (87.03).

For a different body part, codes include B920ZZZ (ear), B922ZZZ (paranasal sinuses), B926ZZZ (bilateral parotid glands), B92DZZZ (bilateral salivary glands), B92FZZZ (nasopharynx/oropharynx) and B92JZZZ (larynx).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded B9290ZZ (high osmolar), B9291ZZ (low osmolar) and B929YZZ (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.
