About BR0HZZZ
BR0HZZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the sternum 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 x-ray of ribs, sternum, and clavicle, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (87.43).
For a different body part, codes include BR00ZZZ (cervical spine), BR01ZZZ (cervical disc(s)), BR02ZZZ (thoracic disc(s)), BR03ZZZ (lumbar disc(s)), BR04ZZZ (cervical facet joint(s)), BR05ZZZ (thoracic facet joint(s)) and 9 more.
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.
