BR31Y0ZMagnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of Cervical Disc(s) using Other Contrast, Unenhanced and Enhanced
- Billable / Specific Code
BR31Y0Z is a billable ICD-10-PCS procedure code for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of Cervical Disc(s) using Other Contrast, Unenhanced and Enhanced. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2026 (October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026). The root operation Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) involves computer reformatted digital display of multiplanar images developed from the capture of radiofrequency signals emitted by nuclei in a body site excited within a magnetic field. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this procedure falls under Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Questions About BR31Y0Z
Is BR31Y0Z a billable code?
Yes. This is a complete seven-character ICD-10-PCS code, specific enough to report Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of Cervical Disc(s) using Other Contrast, Unenhanced and Enhanced on inpatient claims from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.
What do the characters in BR31Y0Z mean?
The code breaks down character by character: the 1st character B is the Section (Imaging); the 2nd character R is the Body System (Axial Skeleton, Except Skull and Facial Bones); the 3rd character 3 is the Type (Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)); the 4th character 1 is the BodyPart (Cervical Disc(s)); the 5th character Y is the Contrast (Other Contrast); the 6th character 0 is the Qualifier (Unenhanced and Enhanced); the 7th character Z is the Qualifier (None).
What is the ICD-9-PCS equivalent of BR31Y0Z?
Under the General Equivalence Mappings, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of Cervical Disc(s) using Other Contrast, Unenhanced and Enhanced crosswalks to ICD-9-PCS 88.93 (Magnetic resonance imaging of spinal canal). The mapping is approximate, so confirm it fits the documentation.
