About BH3JZZZ

BH3JZZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedure on the subcutaneous tissue, lower extremity using a none approach with none (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) means computer reformatted digital display of multiplanar images developed from the capture of radiofrequency signals emitted by nuclei in a body site excited within a magnetic field.

In plain terms, this corresponds to magnetic resonance imaging of other and unspecified sites, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (88.97).

For a different body part, codes include BH30ZZZ (right breast), BH31ZZZ (left breast), BH32ZZZ (bilateral breasts), BH3DZZZ (subcutaneous tissue, head/neck), BH3FZZZ (subcutaneous tissue, upper extremity), BH3GZZZ (subcutaneous tissue, thorax) and 1 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded BH3JYZZ (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.
