About B92FZZZ

B92FZZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a computerized tomography (CT scan) procedure on the nasopharynx/oropharynx using a none approach with none (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 and other computerized axial tomography, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (87.03 and 88.38).

For a different body part, codes include B920ZZZ (ear), B922ZZZ (paranasal sinuses), B926ZZZ (bilateral parotid glands), B929ZZZ (bilateral submandibular glands), B92DZZZ (bilateral salivary glands) and B92JZZZ (larynx).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded B92F0ZZ (high osmolar), B92F1ZZ (low osmolar) and B92FYZZ (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.
