About C91B1ZZ
C91B1ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a planar nuclear medicine imaging procedure on the bilateral salivary glands 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 other sites, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (92.19).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded C91BYZZ (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.
