About C030YZZ

C030YZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a positron emission tomographic (PET) imaging procedure on the brain using an other radionuclide approach with none (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, positron emission tomographic (PET) imaging means introduction of radioactive materials into the body for three dimensional display of images developed from the simultaneous capture, 180 degrees apart, of radioactive emissions.

In plain terms, this corresponds to cerebral scan, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (92.11).

For a different body part, codes include C03YYZZ (central nervous system).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded C030BZZ (carbon 11 (C-11)), C030KZZ (fluorine 18 (F-18)) and C030MZZ (oxygen 15 (O-15)).

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.
