About C7151ZZ

C7151ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a planar nuclear medicine imaging procedure on the lymphatics, head and neck using a technetium 99m (tc-99m) 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 lymphatic system, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (92.16).

For a different body part, codes include C7101ZZ (bone marrow), C7121ZZ (spleen), C71D1ZZ (lymphatics, pelvic), C71J1ZZ (lymphatics, head), C71K1ZZ (lymphatics, neck), C71L1ZZ (lymphatics, upper chest) and 3 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded C715YZZ (other radionuclide).

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.
