BW11ZZZFluoroscopy of Abdomen and Pelvis

BW11ZZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fluoroscopy procedure on the abdomen and pelvis using a none approach with none (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, fluoroscopy means single plane or bi-plane real time display of an image developed from the capture of external ionizing radiation on a fluorescent screen. The image may also be stored by either digital or analog means.

In plain terms, this corresponds to retroperitoneal fistulogram, other retroperitoneal x-ray and other x-ray of abdomen, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (88.14, 88.16 and 88.19).

For a different body part, codes include BW19ZZZ (head and neck), BW1CZZZ (lower extremity) and BW1JZZZ (upper extremity).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded BW110ZZ (high osmolar), BW111ZZ (low osmolar) and BW11YZZ (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.
