B51T0ZAFluoroscopy of Portal and Splanchnic Veins using High Osmolar Contrast, Guidance

B51T0ZA is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fluoroscopy procedure on the portal and splanchnic veins using a high osmolar 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 the portal venous system using contrast material, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (88.64).

For a different body part, codes include B5100ZA (epidural veins), B5110ZA (cerebral and cerebellar veins), B5120ZA (intracranial sinuses), B5130ZA (right jugular veins), B5140ZA (left jugular veins), B5150ZA (bilateral jugular veins) and 21 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded B51T1ZA (low osmolar), B51TYZA (other contrast) and B51TZZA (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.
