About BT140ZZ
BT140ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fluoroscopy procedure on the kidneys, ureters and bladder 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 intravenous pyelogram, retrograde pyelogram and percutaneous pyelogram, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (87.73, 87.74 and 87.75).
For a different body part, codes include BT100ZZ (bladder), BT110ZZ (right kidney), BT120ZZ (left kidney), BT130ZZ (bilateral kidneys), BT150ZZ (urethra), BT160ZZ (right ureter) and 6 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded BT141ZZ (low osmolar), BT14YZZ (other contrast) and BT14ZZZ (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.
