About BR100ZZ

BR100ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fluoroscopy procedure on the cervical spine using a high osmolar 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 contrast myelogram and other x-ray of cervical spine, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (87.21 and 87.22).

For a different body part, codes include BR110ZZ (cervical disc(s)), BR120ZZ (thoracic disc(s)), BR130ZZ (lumbar disc(s)), BR140ZZ (cervical facet joint(s)), BR150ZZ (thoracic facet joint(s)), BR160ZZ (lumbar facet joint(s)) and 9 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded BR101ZZ (low osmolar), BR10YZZ (other contrast) and BR10ZZZ (none).

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.
