About BQ01ZZ1
BQ01ZZ1 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the left hip using a none approach with none (qualifier: densitometry). 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 bone mineral density studies, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (88.98).
For a different body part, codes include BQ00ZZ1 (right hip), BQ03ZZ1 (right femur) and BQ04ZZ1 (left femur).
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.
