BN19ZZZFluoroscopy of Bilateral Temporomandibular Joints

BN19ZZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fluoroscopy procedure on the bilateral temporomandibular joints using a none approach with none (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, fluoroscopy means single plane or bi-plane real time display of an image developed from the capture of external ionizing radiation on a fluorescent screen. The image may also be stored by either digital or analog means.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other x-ray of facial bones, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (87.16).

For a different body part, codes include BN17ZZZ (right temporomandibular joint) and BN18ZZZ (left temporomandibular joint).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded BN190ZZ (high osmolar), BN191ZZ (low osmolar) and BN19YZZ (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.
