About BT080ZZ
BT080ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the bilateral ureters using a high 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 other x-ray of the urinary system, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (87.79).
For a different body part, codes include BT000ZZ (bladder), BT010ZZ (right kidney), BT020ZZ (left kidney), BT030ZZ (bilateral kidneys), BT040ZZ (kidneys, ureters and bladder), BT050ZZ (urethra) and 4 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded BT081ZZ (low osmolar), BT08YZZ (other contrast) and BT08ZZZ (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.
