About BF261ZZ
BF261ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a computerized tomography (CT scan) procedure on the liver and spleen 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 computerized axial tomography of abdomen, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (88.01).
For a different body part, codes include BF251ZZ (liver), BF271ZZ (pancreas) and BF2C1ZZ (hepatobiliary system, all).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded BF260ZZ (high osmolar), BF26YZZ (other contrast) and BF26ZZZ (none).
With a different device, use BF2610Z (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.
