B5090ZZPlain Radiography of Inferior Vena Cava using High Osmolar Contrast

B5090ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the inferior vena cava 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 angiocardiography of venae cavae, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (88.51).

For a different body part, codes include B5000ZZ (epidural veins), B5010ZZ (cerebral and cerebellar veins), B5020ZZ (intracranial sinuses), B5030ZZ (right jugular veins), B5040ZZ (left jugular veins), B5050ZZ (bilateral jugular veins) and 21 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded B5091ZZ (low osmolar) and B509YZZ (other contrast).

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.
