BV081ZZPlain Radiography of Vasa Vasorum using Low Osmolar Contrast

BV081ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the vasa vasorum using a low osmolar approach with none (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, plain radiography means planar display of an image developed from the capture of external ionizing radiation on photographic or photoconductive plate.

In plain terms, this corresponds to contrast vasogram, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (87.94).

For a different body part, codes include BV001ZZ (corpora cavernosa), BV011ZZ (right epididymis), BV021ZZ (left epididymis), BV031ZZ (prostate), BV051ZZ (right testicle) and BV061ZZ (left testicle).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded BV080ZZ (high osmolar) and BV08YZZ (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.
