About BT15ZZZ
BT15ZZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fluoroscopy procedure on the urethra using a none 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 BT10ZZZ (bladder), BT11ZZZ (right kidney), BT12ZZZ (left kidney), BT13ZZZ (bilateral kidneys), BT14ZZZ (kidneys, ureters and bladder), BT16ZZZ (right ureter) and 6 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded BT150ZZ (high osmolar), BT151ZZ (low osmolar) and BT15YZZ (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.
