About BQ0Y1ZZ
BQ0Y1ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the left foot/toe joint 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 contrast arthrogram, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (88.32).
For a different body part, codes include BQ001ZZ (right hip), BQ011ZZ (left hip), BQ071ZZ (right knee), BQ081ZZ (left knee), BQ0G1ZZ (right ankle), BQ0H1ZZ (left ankle) and 1 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded BQ0Y0ZZ (high osmolar) and BQ0YYZZ (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.
