About B00B0ZZ

B00B0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the spinal cord using a high osmolar approach with none (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, plain radiography means planar display of an image developed from the capture of external ionizing radiation on photographic or photoconductive plate.

In plain terms, this corresponds to contrast myelogram, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (87.21).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded B00B1ZZ (low osmolar), B00BYZZ (other contrast) and B00BZZZ (none).

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.
