About BW3HYZZ

BW3HYZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedure on the retroperitoneum using an other contrast 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 other and unspecified sites, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (88.97).

For a different body part, codes include BW30YZZ (abdomen), BW33YZZ (chest), BW38YZZ (head), BW3FYZZ (neck), BW3GYZZ (pelvic region) and BW3PYZZ (brachial plexus).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded BW3HZZZ (none).

With a different device, use BW3HY0Z (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.
