About BW2500Z
BW2500Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a computerized tomography (CT scan) procedure on the chest, abdomen and pelvis using a high osmolar approach with unenhanced and enhanced (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).
For a different body part, codes include BW2000Z (abdomen), BW2100Z (abdomen and pelvis), BW2400Z (chest and abdomen), BW2800Z (head), BW2900Z (head and neck), BW2F00Z (neck) and 1 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded BW2510Z (low osmolar) and BW25Y0Z (other contrast).
With a different device, use BW250ZZ (none).
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.
