About the BB2 Code Range
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Computerized Tomography (CT Scan) (Code BB2) in the Imaging section refers to using CT technology to create detailed images of internal structures, specifically the Respiratory System in this classification.
This operation enables precise visualization of respiratory anatomy such as the bilateral lungs, tracheobronchial trees, and trachea/airways. The extensive code list exemplifies diverse applications, including CT scans using different types of contrast media: High Osmolar Contrast, Low Osmolar Contrast, and Other Contrast. Each contrast type can be used in either unenhanced and enhanced modalities or simply enhanced. For example, code BB2400Z specifies a CT scan of the bilateral lungs using high osmolar contrast both unenhanced and enhanced, while BB2FZZZ indicates a CT scan of the trachea/airways without specifying contrast. These codes allow detailed documentation of the imaging technique and body part examined, which is vital for accurate procedural coding and clinical communication related to respiratory system CT scans.
Questions About This Page
How many billable codes are in the BB2 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 BB2 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 respiratory system. Each code adds the body part, approach, device, and qualifier in characters four through seven, and links to its own reference page.
