About BB13ZZZ
BB13ZZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fluoroscopy procedure on the left lung using a none approach with none (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, fluoroscopy means single plane or bi-plane real time display of an image developed from the capture of external ionizing radiation on a fluorescent screen. The image may also be stored by either digital or analog means.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other chest x-ray, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (87.49).
For a different body part, codes include BB12ZZZ (right lung), BB14ZZZ (bilateral lungs), BB16ZZZ (diaphragm), BB1CZZZ (mediastinum) and BB1DZZZ (upper airways).
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.
