About BB24YZZ

BB24YZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a computerized tomography (CT scan) procedure on the bilateral lungs using an other contrast 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 BB27YZZ (right tracheobronchial tree), BB28YZZ (left tracheobronchial tree), BB29YZZ (bilateral tracheobronchial trees) and BB2FYZZ (trachea/airways).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded BB240ZZ (high osmolar), BB241ZZ (low osmolar) and BB24ZZZ (none).

With a different device, use BB24Y0Z (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.
