About BQ00ZZZ

BQ00ZZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the right hip 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 skeletal x-ray of pelvis and hip, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (88.26).

For a different body part, codes include BQ01ZZZ (left hip), BQ03ZZZ (right femur), BQ04ZZZ (left femur), BQ07ZZZ (right knee), BQ08ZZZ (left knee), BQ0DZZZ (right lower leg) and 11 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded BQ000ZZ (high osmolar), BQ001ZZ (low osmolar) and BQ00YZZ (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.
