About BB2F1ZZ

BB2F1ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a computerized tomography (CT scan) procedure on the trachea/airways using a low 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 other computerized axial tomography, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (88.38).

For a different body part, codes include BB241ZZ (bilateral lungs), BB271ZZ (right tracheobronchial tree), BB281ZZ (left tracheobronchial tree) and BB291ZZ (bilateral tracheobronchial trees).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded BB2F0ZZ (high osmolar), BB2FYZZ (other contrast) and BB2FZZZ (none).

With a different device, use BB2F10Z (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.
