About B512YZA

B512YZA is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fluoroscopy procedure on the intracranial sinuses using an other contrast approach with none (qualifier: guidance). In ICD-10-PCS, fluoroscopy means single plane or bi-plane real time display of an image developed from the capture of external ionizing radiation on a fluorescent screen. The image may also be stored by either digital or analog means.

In plain terms, this corresponds to phlebography of veins of head and neck using contrast material, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (88.61).

For a different body part, codes include B510YZA (epidural veins), B511YZA (cerebral and cerebellar veins), B513YZA (right jugular veins), B514YZA (left jugular veins), B515YZA (bilateral jugular veins), B516YZA (right subclavian vein) and 21 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded B5120ZA (high osmolar), B5121ZA (low osmolar) and B512ZZA (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.
