About CW5MDZZ

CW5MDZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a nonimaging nuclear medicine probe procedure on the upper extremity using an indium 111 (in-111) approach with none (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, nonimaging nuclear medicine probe means introduction of radioactive materials into the body for the study of distribution and fate of certain substances by the detection of radioactive emissions; or, alternatively, measurement of absorption of radioactive emissions from an external source.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other radioisotope function studies, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (92.09).

For a different body part, codes include CW50DZZ (abdomen), CW51DZZ (abdomen and pelvis), CW53DZZ (chest), CW54DZZ (chest and abdomen), CW56DZZ (chest and neck), CW5BDZZ (head and neck) and 2 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded CW5M1ZZ (technetium 99m (tc-99m)) and CW5MYZZ (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.
