B205YZZPlain Radiography of Left Heart using Other Contrast

B205YZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the left heart using an other contrast 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 angiocardiography of left heart structures, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (88.53).

For a different body part, codes include B200YZZ (coronary artery, single), B201YZZ (coronary arteries, multiple), B202YZZ (coronary artery bypass graft, single), B203YZZ (coronary artery bypass grafts, multiple), B204YZZ (right heart), B206YZZ (heart, right and left) and 3 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded B2050ZZ (high osmolar) and B2051ZZ (low osmolar).

It is a non-O.R. procedure that is part of the MS-DRG logic for DRG 212 (Concomitant Aortic and Mitral Valve Procedures), DRG 216 (Cardiac Valve and Other Major Cardiothoracic Procedures with Cardiac Catheterization with MCC), DRG 217 (Cardiac Valve and Other Major Cardiothoracic Procedures with Cardiac Catheterization with CC), DRG 218 (Cardiac Valve and Other Major Cardiothoracic Procedures with Cardiac Catheterization without CC/MCC), DRG 233 (Coronary Bypass with Cardiac Catheterization or Open Ablation with MCC) and DRG 234 (Coronary Bypass with Cardiac Catheterization or Open Ablation without MCC), under the surgical categories “Concomitant Aortic and Mitral Valve Procedures”, “”, “Cardiac Defibrillator Implant with Cardiac Catheterization” and 1 more.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
