About BB0DZZZ
BB0DZZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the upper airways 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 chest x-ray, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (87.09 and 87.49).
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.
