About BW24YZZ

BW24YZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a computerized tomography (CT scan) procedure on the chest and abdomen using an other contrast 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 computerized axial tomography of thorax and computerized axial tomography of abdomen, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (87.41 and 88.01).

For a different body part, codes include BW20YZZ (abdomen), BW21YZZ (abdomen and pelvis), BW25YZZ (chest, abdomen and pelvis), BW28YZZ (head), BW29YZZ (head and neck), BW2FYZZ (neck) and 1 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded BW240ZZ (high osmolar), BW241ZZ (low osmolar) and BW24ZZZ (none).

With a different device, use BW24Y0Z (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.
