About the BP3 Code Range

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) (code prefix BP3) refers to using MRI technology to create detailed images of upper bone structures without invasive procedures. This falls under the Imaging section, focusing on diagnostic visualization.

This operation encompasses MRI scans of various non-axial upper bones, such as the shoulders, elbows, wrists, forearms, upper arms, and hand/finger joints. Codes like BP38ZZZ represent an MRI of the right shoulder without contrast, while BP39Y0Z describes an MRI of the left shoulder using other contrast with both unenhanced and enhanced imaging. Similarly, scans of the left wrist are coded as BP3MYZZ when contrast is used, and BP3MZZZ for non-contrast studies. This specificity enables precise documentation of MRI procedures by side, contrast usage, and exact upper bone location, contributing to accurate clinical records and billing.

Questions About This Page

How many billable codes are in the BP3 range?

Of the 37 codes in this range, 36 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 BP3 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 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.
