About BV231ZZ
BV231ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a computerized tomography (CT scan) procedure on the prostate using a low osmolar approach with none (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, computerized tomography (CT scan) means computer reformatted digital display of multiplanar images developed from the capture of multiple exposures of external ionizing radiation.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other computerized axial tomography, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (88.38).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded BV230ZZ (high osmolar), BV23YZZ (other contrast) and BV23ZZZ (none).
With a different device, use BV2310Z (unenhanced and enhanced).
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.
