About BF271ZZ

BF271ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a computerized tomography (CT scan) procedure on the pancreas 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), BF261ZZ (liver and spleen) and BF2C1ZZ (hepatobiliary system, all).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded BF270ZZ (high osmolar), BF27YZZ (other contrast) and BF27ZZZ (none).

With a different device, use BF2710Z (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.
