About BR39Y0Z
BR39Y0Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedure on the lumbar spine using an other contrast approach with unenhanced and enhanced (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) means computer reformatted digital display of multiplanar images developed from the capture of radiofrequency signals emitted by nuclei in a body site excited within a magnetic field.
In plain terms, this corresponds to magnetic resonance imaging of spinal canal and other intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (88.93 and 88.96).
For a different body part, codes include BR30Y0Z (cervical spine), BR31Y0Z (cervical disc(s)), BR32Y0Z (thoracic disc(s)), BR33Y0Z (lumbar disc(s)), BR37Y0Z (thoracic spine), BR3CY0Z (pelvis) and 1 more.
With a different device, use BR39YZZ (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.

Common questions about BR39Y0Z
Is BR39Y0Z a valid ICD-10-PCS code for 2027?
- Yes. BR39Y0Z is valid for inpatient procedures from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
What is the ICD-9 procedure code for BR39Y0Z?
- The CMS GEMs map BR39Y0Z to ICD-9-CM 88.93 (Magnetic resonance imaging of spinal canal) and 88.96 (Other intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging).
