B7000ZZPlain Radiography of Unilateral Abdominal/Retroperitoneal Lymphatics using High Osmolar Contrast

B7000ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the abdominal/retroperitoneal lymphatics, unilateral 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 intrathoracic lymphangiogram and abdominal lymphangiogram, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (87.34 and 88.04).

For a different body part, codes include B7010ZZ (bilateral abdominal/retroperitoneal lymphatics), B7040ZZ (lymphatics, head and neck), B7050ZZ (right upper extremity lymphatics), B7060ZZ (left upper extremity lymphatics), B7070ZZ (bilateral upper extremity lymphatics), B7080ZZ (right lower extremity lymphatics) and 3 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded B7001ZZ (low osmolar) and B700YZZ (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.
