BW0JZZZPlain Radiography of Upper Extremity

BW0JZZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the upper extremity using a none 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 skeletal x-ray of upper limb, not otherwise specified, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (88.24).

For a different body part, codes include BW00ZZZ (abdomen), BW01ZZZ (abdomen and pelvis), BW03ZZZ (chest), BW0BZZZ (long bones, all), BW0CZZZ (lower extremity), BW0KZZZ (whole body) and 2 more.

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.
