BQ31YZZMagnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of Left Hip using Other Contrast

BQ31YZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedure on the left hip using an other contrast approach with none (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) means computer reformatted digital display of multiplanar images developed from the capture of radiofrequency signals emitted by nuclei in a body site excited within a magnetic field.

In plain terms, this corresponds to magnetic resonance imaging of musculoskeletal and other intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (88.94 and 88.96).

For a different body part, codes include BQ30YZZ (right hip), BQ33YZZ (right femur), BQ34YZZ (left femur), BQ37YZZ (right knee), BQ38YZZ (left knee), BQ3DYZZ (right lower leg) and 11 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded BQ31ZZZ (none).

With a different device, use BQ31Y0Z (unenhanced and enhanced).

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.
