C23GYZZPositron Emission Tomographic (PET) Imaging of Myocardium using Other Radionuclide
- Billable / Specific Code
C23GYZZ is a billable ICD-10-PCS procedure code for Positron Emission Tomographic (PET) Imaging of Myocardium using Other Radionuclide. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027). The root operation 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. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this procedure falls under Positron emission tomographic (PET) imaging.
