About B90C1ZZ

B90C1ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the left salivary gland using a low 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 other soft tissue x-ray of face, head, and neck, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (87.09).

For a different body part, codes include B9041ZZ (right parotid gland), B9051ZZ (left parotid gland), B9061ZZ (bilateral parotid glands), B9071ZZ (right submandibular gland), B9081ZZ (left submandibular gland), B9091ZZ (bilateral submandibular glands) and 2 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded B90C0ZZ (high osmolar) and B90CYZZ (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.
