About the B30 Code Range

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Plain Radiography (code B30) involves obtaining an X-ray image of a specified body part without the use of fluoroscopy or other imaging enhancements. It is categorized under the Imaging section and is used to visualize various upper arteries clearly and non-invasively.

This operation covers radiographic imaging of arteries such as the Thoracic Aorta, Right and Left Brachiocephalic-Subclavian Arteries, Common Carotid Arteries, and Vertebral Arteries, among others. The imaging can be performed with or without contrast agents, including High Osmolar Contrast, Low Osmolar Contrast, or Other Contrast types, as shown in examples like ICD-10-PCS code B3000ZZ for the Thoracic Aorta using high osmolar contrast and B301ZZZ for plain radiography of the Right Brachiocephalic-Subclavian Artery without contrast. These distinctions allow precise documentation of specific arteries examined and the contrast medium used, aiding in accurate clinical communication and billing.

Questions About This Page

How many billable codes are in the B30 range?

Of the 105 codes in this range, 104 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 B30 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 upper arteries. Each code adds the body part, approach, device, and qualifier in characters four through seven, and links to its own reference page.
