BQ1XZZZFluoroscopy of Right Foot/Toe Joint

BQ1XZZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fluoroscopy procedure on the right foot/toe joint 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 skeletal x-ray of ankle and foot and contrast arthrogram, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (88.28 and 88.32).

For a different body part, codes include BQ10ZZZ (right hip), BQ11ZZZ (left hip), BQ13ZZZ (right femur), BQ14ZZZ (left femur), BQ17ZZZ (right knee), BQ18ZZZ (left knee) and 13 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded BQ1X0ZZ (high osmolar), BQ1X1ZZ (low osmolar) and BQ1XYZZ (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.
