About BW3GZZZ
BW3GZZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedure on the pelvic region using a none approach with none (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) means computer reformatted digital display of multiplanar images developed from the capture of radiofrequency signals emitted by nuclei in a body site excited within a magnetic field.
In plain terms, this corresponds to magnetic resonance imaging of pelvis, prostate, and bladder and other intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (88.95 and 88.96).
For a different body part, codes include BW30ZZZ (abdomen), BW38ZZZ (head), BW3FZZZ (neck), BW3HZZZ (retroperitoneum) and BW3PZZZ (brachial plexus).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded BW3GYZZ (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.
