About BW59Z1Z
BW59Z1Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a other imaging procedure on the head and neck using a none approach with bacterial autofluorescence (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, other imaging means other specified modality for visualizing a body part.
For a different body part, codes include BW52Z1Z (trunk), BW5CZ1Z (lower extremity) and BW5JZ1Z (upper extremity).
It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.
It was added in FY2021, effective October 1, 2020.
