About BU021ZZ

BU021ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the bilateral fallopian tubes 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 other x-ray of fallopian tubes and uterus, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (87.85).

For a different body part, codes include BU001ZZ (right fallopian tube), BU011ZZ (left fallopian tube), BU061ZZ (uterus), BU081ZZ (uterus and fallopian tubes) and BU091ZZ (vagina).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded BU020ZZ (high osmolar) and BU02YZZ (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.
