About the B02 Code Range
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Computerized Tomography (CT Scan) (B02) refers to using CT imaging technology to create detailed radiographic images of the central nervous system. It captures cross-sectional views that assist in diagnosis and treatment planning.
This Imaging operation covers various central nervous system structures such as the Brain, Cisterna, Cerebral Ventricles, Sella Turcica/Pituitary Gland, and Spinal Cord. The provided codes specify whether the scan uses contrast agents, including High Osmolar, Low Osmolar, or Other contrast, and indicate whether the scan is unenhanced, enhanced, or without contrast. For example, code B02000Z describes a CT Scan of the Brain using High Osmolar Contrast, both Unenhanced and Enhanced, while B028ZZZ represents a CT Scan of Cerebral Ventricles without contrast. This classification allows precise documentation of CT procedures on different central nervous system parts with specific imaging techniques.
Questions About This Page
How many billable codes are in the B02 range?
Of the 36 codes in this range, 35 are billable and valid for inpatient claim submission from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. Table header codes group them but cannot be reported on claims.
What does the B02 range classify?
The range classifies Computerized Tomography (CT Scan) procedures, computer-reformatted digital display of multiplanar images developed from the capture of multiple exposures of external ionizing radiation, performed on the central nervous system. Each code adds the body part, approach, device, and qualifier in characters four through seven, and links to its own reference page.
