About BB240ZZ

BB240ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a computerized tomography (CT scan) procedure on the bilateral lungs 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 computerized axial tomography of thorax, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (87.41).

For a different body part, codes include BB270ZZ (right tracheobronchial tree), BB280ZZ (left tracheobronchial tree), BB290ZZ (bilateral tracheobronchial trees) and BB2F0ZZ (trachea/airways).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded BB241ZZ (low osmolar), BB24YZZ (other contrast) and BB24ZZZ (none).

With a different device, use BB2400Z (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.
