About BQ0LZZZ
BQ0LZZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the right foot 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.
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.
