BQ11ZZZFluoroscopy of Left Hip

BQ11ZZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fluoroscopy procedure on the left hip 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 skeletal x-ray of pelvis and hip and contrast arthrogram, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (88.26 and 88.32).

For a different body part, codes include BQ10ZZZ (right hip), BQ13ZZZ (right femur), BQ14ZZZ (left femur), BQ17ZZZ (right knee), BQ18ZZZ (left knee), BQ1DZZZ (right lower leg) and 13 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded BQ110ZZ (high osmolar), BQ111ZZ (low osmolar) and BQ11YZZ (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.
