C030BZZ PCS Table

In an PCS table each code is represented by up seven alphanumeric characters, with each character in the table respresenting different aspects of the procedure. In the table provided below, each row represents an individual character and includes information about the character's position, designation, label, and procedure notes. For this PCS table the procedure code is in the nuclear medicine section and is part of the central nervous system body system, classified under positron emission tomographic (pet) imaging type. The applicable bodypart for this procedure code is brain.

Position	Designation	Character	Label	Procedures Notes
1	Section	C	Nuclear Medicine
2	Body System	0	Central Nervous System
3	Type	3	Positron Emission Tomographic (PET) Imaging	Involves: Introduction of radioactive materials into the body for three dimensional display of images developed from the simultaneous capture, 180 degrees apart, of radioactive emissions
4	BodyPart	0	Brain
5	Radionuclide	B	Carbon 11 (C-11)
6	Qualifier	Z	None	Explanation: The value Z is used for the sixth character to indicate that a specific qualifier does not apply to the procedure.
7	Qualifier	Z	None	Explanation: The value Z is used for the seventh character to indicate that a specific qualifier does not apply to the procedure.

What is ICD-10-PCS?

The ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) is a catalog of procedural codes used by medical professionals for hospital inpatient healthcare settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates. The 2024 ICD-10-PCS codes are to be used for discharges occurring from October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024.

Each ICD-10-PCS code has a structure of seven alphanumeric characters and contains no decimals. The first character defines the major "section". Depending on the "section" the second through seventh characters mean different things.
