About CP161ZZ

CP161ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a planar nuclear medicine imaging procedure on the pelvis 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 bone scan, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (92.14).

For a different body part, codes include CP111ZZ (skull), CP141ZZ (thorax), CP151ZZ (spine), CP171ZZ (spine and pelvis), CP181ZZ (right upper extremity), CP191ZZ (left upper extremity) and 5 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded CP16YZZ (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.
