About the B20 Code Range
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Plain Radiography (B20) involves taking X-ray images to visualize internal structures, primarily used within the Imaging section. This procedure provides detailed views of body parts without using more complex imaging modalities.
Examples of plain radiography codes include imaging of the heart and its related vessels, such as the single coronary artery or multiple coronary arteries, with contrast types like high osmolar, low osmolar, or other contrast. Specific codes such as B2000ZZ denote plain radiography of a single coronary artery using high osmolar contrast, while B2011ZZ covers multiple coronary arteries using low osmolar contrast. The procedure extends to imaging of coronary artery bypass grafts, right and left heart chambers, and internal mammary bypass grafts, reflecting detailed cardiac radiographic studies. Accurately selecting from such codes ensures precise documentation of the radiographic procedure performed.
Questions About This Page
How many billable codes are in the B20 range?
Of the 31 codes in this range, 30 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 B20 range classify?
The range classifies Plain Radiography procedures, planar display of an image developed from the capture of external ionizing radiation on photographic or photoconductive plate, performed on the heart. Each code adds the body part, approach, device, and qualifier in characters four through seven, and links to its own reference page.
