C755YZZNonimaging Nuclear Medicine Probe of Head and Neck Lymphatics using Other Radionuclide

C755YZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a nonimaging nuclear medicine probe procedure on the lymphatics, head and neck using an other radionuclide approach with none (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, nonimaging nuclear medicine probe means introduction of radioactive materials into the body for the study of distribution and fate of certain substances by the detection of radioactive emissions; or, alternatively, measurement of absorption of radioactive emissions from an external source.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other radioisotope function studies, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (92.09).

For a different body part, codes include C75DYZZ (lymphatics, pelvic), C75JYZZ (lymphatics, head), C75KYZZ (lymphatics, neck), C75LYZZ (lymphatics, upper chest), C75MYZZ (lymphatics, trunk), C75NYZZ (lymphatics, upper extremity) and 2 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded C7551ZZ (technetium 99m (tc-99m)).

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.
