CH1YYZZPlanar Nuclear Medicine Imaging of Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast using Other Radionuclide

CH1YYZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a planar nuclear medicine imaging procedure on the skin, subcutaneous tissue and breast 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 CH10YZZ (right breast), CH11YZZ (left breast) and CH12YZZ (bilateral breasts).

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.
