About B90FZZZ

B90FZZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the nasopharynx/oropharynx using a none 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 and other x-ray of facial bones, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (87.09 and 87.16).

For a different body part, codes include B902ZZZ (paranasal sinuses) and B90HZZZ (mastoids).

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.
