C025YZZTomographic (Tomo) Nuclear Medicine Imaging of Cerebrospinal Fluid using Other Radionuclide

C025YZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a tomographic (tomo) nuclear medicine imaging procedure on the cerebrospinal fluid using an other radionuclide approach with none (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, tomographic (tomo) nuclear medicine imaging means introduction of radioactive materials into the body for three dimensional 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 C020YZZ (brain) and C02YYZZ (central nervous system).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded C025DZZ (indium 111 (in-111)).

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.
