About BP271ZZ

BP271ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a computerized tomography (CT scan) procedure on the left scapula using a low 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 other computerized axial tomography, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (88.38).

For a different body part, codes include BP201ZZ (right sternoclavicular joint), BP211ZZ (left sternoclavicular joint), BP221ZZ (bilateral sternoclavicular joints), BP231ZZ (bilateral acromioclavicular joints), BP241ZZ (right clavicle), BP251ZZ (left clavicle) and 24 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded BP270ZZ (high osmolar), BP27YZZ (other contrast) and BP27ZZZ (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.
