About the BF1 Code Range
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Fluoroscopy (code BF1) refers to an imaging procedure that uses continuous X-ray to visualize moving anatomy in real time. This operation is specifically applied in the Imaging section to examine the hepatobiliary system and pancreas.
Fluoroscopy within this body system allows physicians to assess and diagnose conditions by viewing live images of structures such as the bile ducts, gallbladder, liver, pancreatic ducts, and their combinations. The codes differentiate the use of various contrast agents—High Osmolar, Low Osmolar, Other Contrast—to enhance visualization. For example, code BF100ZZ describes fluoroscopy of the bile ducts using high osmolar contrast, while code BF141ZZ refers to fluoroscopy of the gallbladder, bile ducts, and pancreatic ducts with low osmolar contrast. Additionally, code BF15ZZA denotes fluoroscopic guidance of the liver. These precise codes ensure detailed documentation of fluoroscopic imaging procedures in hepatobiliary and pancreatic diagnostics.
Questions About This Page
How many billable codes are in the BF1 range?
Of the 23 codes in this range, 22 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 BF1 range classify?
The range classifies Fluoroscopy procedures, single plane or bi-plane real time display of an image developed from the capture of external ionizing radiation on fluorescent screen. The image may also be stored by either digital or analog means, performed on the hepatobiliary system and pancreas. Each code adds the body part, approach, device, and qualifier in characters four through seven, and links to its own reference page.
