About the BP0 Code Range
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Plain Radiography (code BP0) under the Imaging section involves producing X-ray images of bones and joints without complex techniques or advanced cross-sectional imaging. This operation specifically captures non-axial images, generally used for assessing bone structures in a straightforward manner.
Plain Radiography codes demonstrate its application across various upper body bones and joints, such as the Right and Left Sternoclavicular Joints (codes BP00ZZZ and BP01ZZZ), the Clavicle (codes BP04ZZZ, BP05ZZZ), and the Shoulder with or without contrast use (e.g., BP08ZZZ for right shoulder, BP090ZZ with high osmolar contrast). Other examples include imaging of the Elbow, Wrist, Forearm, and individual Fingers. By specifying laterality and contrast use, these codes allow precise documentation of diagnostic X-ray procedures performed on upper bones via plain radiography.
Questions About This Page
How many billable codes are in the BP0 range?
Of the 53 codes in this range, 52 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 BP0 range classify?
The range classifies Plain Radiography procedures, planar display of an image developed from the capture of external ionizing radiation on photographic or photoconductive plate, performed on the non-axial upper bones. Each code adds the body part, approach, device, and qualifier in characters four through seven, and links to its own reference page.
