About BN2F0ZZ

BN2F0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a computerized tomography (CT scan) procedure on the temporal bones using a high 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 head, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (87.03).

For a different body part, codes include BN200ZZ (skull), BN230ZZ (bilateral orbits), BN250ZZ (facial bones), BN260ZZ (mandible) and BN290ZZ (bilateral temporomandibular joints).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded BN2F1ZZ (low osmolar), BN2FYZZ (other contrast) and BN2FZZZ (none).

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.
