BP0HZZZPlain Radiography of Left Elbow

BP0HZZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the left elbow 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 skeletal x-ray of elbow and forearm, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (88.22).

For a different body part, codes include BP00ZZZ (right sternoclavicular joint), BP01ZZZ (left sternoclavicular joint), BP02ZZZ (bilateral sternoclavicular joints), BP03ZZZ (bilateral acromioclavicular joints), BP04ZZZ (right clavicle), BP05ZZZ (left clavicle) and 21 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded BP0H0ZZ (high osmolar), BP0H1ZZ (low osmolar) and BP0HYZZ (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.
