About BN03ZZZ

BN03ZZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the bilateral orbits using a none 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 contrast radiogram of orbit and other x-ray of facial bones, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (87.14 and 87.16).

For a different body part, codes include BN00ZZZ (skull), BN01ZZZ (right orbit), BN02ZZZ (left orbit), BN04ZZZ (nasal bones), BN05ZZZ (facial bones), BN06ZZZ (mandible) and 9 more.

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.
