About BP0H1ZZ

BP0H1ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the left elbow using a low osmolar 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 skeletal x-ray of elbow and forearm and contrast arthrogram, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (88.22 and 88.32).

For a different body part, codes include BP081ZZ (right shoulder), BP091ZZ (left shoulder), BP0C1ZZ (right hand/finger joint), BP0D1ZZ (left hand/finger joint), BP0G1ZZ (right elbow), BP0L1ZZ (right wrist) and 1 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded BP0H0ZZ (high osmolar), BP0HYZZ (other contrast) and BP0HZZZ (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.
