BV08YZZPlain Radiography of Vasa Vasorum using Other Contrast

BV08YZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the vasa vasorum using an other contrast 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 contrast vasogram, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (87.94).

For a different body part, codes include BV00YZZ (corpora cavernosa), BV01YZZ (right epididymis), BV02YZZ (left epididymis), BV03YZZ (prostate), BV05YZZ (right testicle) and BV06YZZ (left testicle).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded BV080ZZ (high osmolar) and BV081ZZ (low osmolar).

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.
