About CP281ZZ

CP281ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a tomographic (tomo) nuclear medicine imaging procedure on the right upper extremity using a technetium 99m (tc-99m) approach with none (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, tomographic (tomo) nuclear medicine imaging means introduction of radioactive materials into the body for three dimensional 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 CP211ZZ (skull), CP221ZZ (cervical spine), CP231ZZ (skull and cervical spine), CP241ZZ (thorax), CP261ZZ (pelvis), CP271ZZ (spine and pelvis) and 8 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded CP28YZZ (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.
