About BU45ZZZ

BU45ZZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a ultrasonography procedure on the bilateral ovaries using a none approach with none (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, ultrasonography means real time display of images of anatomy or flow information developed from the capture of reflected and attenuated high frequency sound waves.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other diagnostic ultrasound, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (88.79).

For a different body part, codes include BU40ZZZ (right fallopian tube), BU41ZZZ (left fallopian tube), BU42ZZZ (bilateral fallopian tubes), BU43ZZZ (right ovary), BU44ZZZ (left ovary), BU46ZZZ (uterus) and 1 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded BU45YZZ (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.
