BQ0HZZZPlain Radiography of Left Ankle

BQ0HZZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the left ankle using a none 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 ankle and foot, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (88.28).

For a different body part, codes include BQ00ZZZ (right hip), BQ01ZZZ (left hip), BQ03ZZZ (right femur), BQ04ZZZ (left femur), BQ07ZZZ (right knee), BQ08ZZZ (left knee) and 11 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded BQ0H0ZZ (high osmolar), BQ0H1ZZ (low osmolar) and BQ0HYZZ (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.
