About C01YYZZ
C01YYZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a planar nuclear medicine imaging procedure on the central nervous system using an other radionuclide approach with none (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, planar nuclear medicine imaging means introduction of radioactive materials into the body for single plane display of images developed from the capture of radioactive emissions.
In plain terms, this corresponds to scan of other sites of head, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (92.12).
For a different body part, codes include C010YZZ (brain) and C015YZZ (cerebrospinal fluid).
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.
