About C51RYZZ

C51RYZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a planar nuclear medicine imaging procedure on the central veins 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 cardiovascular and hematopoietic scan and radioisotope function study, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (92.05).

For a different body part, codes include C51BYZZ (right lower extremity veins), C51CYZZ (left lower extremity veins), C51DYZZ (bilateral lower extremity veins), C51NYZZ (right upper extremity veins), C51PYZZ (left upper extremity veins), C51QYZZ (bilateral upper extremity veins) and 1 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded C51R1ZZ (technetium 99m (tc-99m)).

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.
