B83 Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) - Eye ICD-10-PCS
The B83 code range contains 10 ICD-10-PCS codes for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) procedures on the eye. 9 of the codes are billable and valid for inpatient claim submission in fiscal year 2026.
Root Operation Definition
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): Computer reformatted digital display of multiplanar images developed from the capture of radio frequency signals emitted by nuclei in a body site excited within a magnetic field.

About the B83 Code Range
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) (code B83) falls under the Imaging section and refers to the use of MRI technology to create detailed images of the Eye and related structures. This non-invasive diagnostic procedure helps visualize internal anatomy without the use of ionizing radiation.
This set of ICD-10-PCS MRI eye codes includes options for imaging the Right Eye, Left Eye, or Bilateral Eyes. The codes account for the use of Other Contrast agents and distinguish between unenhanced and enhanced imaging techniques, such as B835Y0Z for MRI with contrast of the right eye or B836ZZZ for basic MRI of the left eye without contrast. By precisely coding these variations, healthcare providers can accurately document the specific MRI procedure performed, supporting clinical decision-making and reimbursement processes for eye imaging studies.
Questions About This Page
How many billable codes are in the B83 range?
Of the 10 codes in this range, 9 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 B83 range classify?
The range classifies Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) procedures, computer reformatted digital display of multiplanar images developed from the capture of radio frequency signals emitted by nuclei in a body site excited within a magnetic field, performed on the eye. Each code adds the body part, approach, device, and qualifier in characters four through seven, and links to its own reference page.
