About BW00ZZZ
BW00ZZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the abdomen using a none 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 other abdomen tomography, other soft tissue x-ray of abdominal wall, other retroperitoneal x-ray and 1 more, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (88.02, 88.09, 88.16 and 1 more).
For a different body part, codes include BW01ZZZ (abdomen and pelvis), BW03ZZZ (chest), BW0BZZZ (long bones, all), BW0CZZZ (lower extremity), BW0JZZZ (upper extremity), BW0KZZZ (whole body) and 2 more.
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.
