BW40ZZZUltrasonography of Abdomen

BW40ZZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a ultrasonography procedure on the abdomen using a none approach with none (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, ultrasonography means real time display of images of anatomy or flow information developed from the capture of reflected and attenuated high frequency sound waves.

In plain terms, this corresponds to diagnostic ultrasound of abdomen and retroperitoneum, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (88.76).

For a different body part, codes include BW41ZZZ (abdomen and pelvis), BW4FZZZ (neck) and BW4GZZZ (pelvic region).

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.
