BT150ZZFluoroscopy of Urethra using High Osmolar Contrast

BT150ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fluoroscopy procedure on the urethra using a high osmolar approach with none (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, fluoroscopy means single plane or bi-plane real time display of an image developed from the capture of external ionizing radiation on a fluorescent screen. The image may also be stored by either digital or analog means.

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 BT100ZZ (bladder), BT110ZZ (right kidney), BT120ZZ (left kidney), BT130ZZ (bilateral kidneys), BT140ZZ (kidneys, ureters and bladder), BT160ZZ (right ureter) and 6 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded BT151ZZ (low osmolar), BT15YZZ (other contrast) and BT15ZZZ (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.
