About BR11ZZZ

BR11ZZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fluoroscopy procedure on the cervical disc(s) 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 x-ray of cervical spine, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (87.22).

For a different body part, codes include BR10ZZZ (cervical spine), BR12ZZZ (thoracic disc(s)), BR13ZZZ (lumbar disc(s)), BR14ZZZ (cervical facet joint(s)), BR15ZZZ (thoracic facet joint(s)), BR16ZZZ (lumbar facet joint(s)) and 9 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded BR110ZZ (high osmolar), BR111ZZ (low osmolar) and BR11YZZ (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.
