About the BH3 Code Range
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) (code BH3) refers to the use of magnetic resonance technology to create detailed images of body parts. This falls under the Imaging section, focusing on non-invasive visualization of tissues like skin, subcutaneous tissue, and breast.
This operation captures MRI scans of specific anatomical sites such as the Right Breast (e.g., code BH30ZZZ), Left Breast (e.g., BH31ZZZ), and Bilateral Breasts (e.g., BH32ZZZ). It also includes imaging of subcutaneous tissues in areas like the Head/Neck (BH3DZZZ), Upper Extremity (BH3FZZZ), Thorax (BH3GZZZ), Abdomen and Pelvis (BH3HZZZ), and Lower Extremity (BH3JZZZ). Codes specify whether imaging is performed with or without contrast enhancement, enabling precise documentation of MRI procedures within the body system. Accurate coding of these Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) operations supports detailed medical records and diagnostic clarity.
Questions About This Page
How many billable codes are in the BH3 range?
Of the 25 codes in this range, 24 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 BH3 range classify?
The range classifies Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) procedures, computer reformatted digital display of multiplanar imagesdeveloped from the capture of radiofrequency signals emitted by nuclei in a body site excitedwithin a magnetic field, performed on the skin, subcutaneous tissue and breast. Each code adds the body part, approach, device, and qualifier in characters four through seven, and links to its own reference page.
