About BT291ZZ
BT291ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a computerized tomography (CT scan) procedure on the kidney transplant using a low osmolar approach with none (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, computerized tomography (CT scan) means computer reformatted digital display of multiplanar images developed from the capture of multiple exposures of external ionizing radiation.
In plain terms, this corresponds to computerized axial tomography of kidney, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (87.71).
For a different body part, codes include BT201ZZ (bladder), BT211ZZ (right kidney), BT221ZZ (left kidney) and BT231ZZ (bilateral kidneys).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded BT290ZZ (high osmolar), BT29YZZ (other contrast) and BT29ZZZ (none).
With a different device, use BT2910Z (unenhanced and enhanced).
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.
