About BR30Y0Z

BR30Y0Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedure on the cervical spine using an other contrast approach with unenhanced and enhanced (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 spinal canal, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (88.93).

For a different body part, codes include BR31Y0Z (cervical disc(s)), BR32Y0Z (thoracic disc(s)), BR33Y0Z (lumbar disc(s)), BR37Y0Z (thoracic spine), BR39Y0Z (lumbar spine), BR3CY0Z (pelvis) and 1 more.

With a different device, use BR30YZZ (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.
