About B92600Z

B92600Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a computerized tomography (CT scan) procedure on the bilateral parotid glands using a high osmolar approach with unenhanced and enhanced (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, computerized tomography (CT scan) means computer reformatted digital display of multiplanar images developed from the capture of multiple exposures of external ionizing radiation.

In plain terms, this corresponds to computerized axial tomography of head, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (87.03).

For a different body part, codes include B92000Z (ear), B92200Z (paranasal sinuses), B92900Z (bilateral submandibular glands), B92D00Z (bilateral salivary glands), B92F00Z (nasopharynx/oropharynx) and B92J00Z (larynx).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded B92610Z (low osmolar) and B926Y0Z (other contrast).

With a different device, use B9260ZZ (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.
