About BF031ZZ
BF031ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the gallbladder and bile ducts using a low osmolar approach with none (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, plain radiography means planar display of an image developed from the capture of external ionizing radiation on photographic or photoconductive plate.
In plain terms, this corresponds to intraoperative cholangiogram, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (87.53).
For a different body part, codes include BF001ZZ (bile ducts) and BF0C1ZZ (hepatobiliary system, all).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded BF030ZZ (high osmolar) and BF03YZZ (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.
