About BD11YZZ

BD11YZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fluoroscopy procedure on the esophagus using an other contrast approach with none (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, fluoroscopy means single plane or bi-plane real time display of an image developed from the capture of external ionizing radiation on a fluorescent screen. The image may also be stored by either digital or analog means.

In plain terms, this corresponds to Barium swallow, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (87.61).

For a different body part, codes include BD12YZZ (stomach), BD13YZZ (small bowel), BD14YZZ (colon), BD15YZZ (upper GI), BD16YZZ (upper GI and small bowel), BD19YZZ (duodenum) and 1 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded BD11ZZZ (none).

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.
