C91BYZZPlanar Nuclear Medicine Imaging of Bilateral Salivary Glands using Other Radionuclide

C91BYZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a planar nuclear medicine imaging procedure on the bilateral salivary glands 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 scan of other sites, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (92.19).

For a different body part, codes include C91YYZZ (ear, nose, mouth and throat).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded C91B1ZZ (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.
