About the B34 Code Range
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Ultrasonography (code range B34) involves using ultrasound waves to create images of vessels, primarily arteries, within the body. This diagnostic imaging technique allows for non-invasive or minimally invasive visualization without the use of radiation.
Within the Imaging section, specific ultrasonography codes document examinations of various arterial structures. Examples include standard imaging of the Thoracic Aorta (B340ZZZ) and specialized intravascular ultrasound such as Intravascular Ultrasonography of the Right Brachiocephalic-Subclavian Artery (B341ZZ3). The codes differentiate both by body part—like Left Common Carotid Artery (B344ZZZ) or Intracranial Arteries (B34RZZZ)—and by approach (intravascular or external). Accurately selecting these codes ensures precise documentation of artery-specific ultrasound studies for clinical evaluation and treatment planning.
Questions About This Page
How many billable codes are in the B34 range?
Of the 33 codes in this range, 32 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 B34 range classify?
The range classifies Ultrasonography procedures, real time display of images of anatomy or flow information developed from the capture of reflected and attenuated high frequency sound waves, 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.
