About the CD1 Code Range
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging involves capturing two-dimensional images of a body system using radionuclide tracers. This technique is part of the Nuclear Medicine section, focusing on diagnostic imaging without invasive procedures.
Within this classification, planar nuclear medicine imaging is primarily applied to the Gastrointestinal System and broader Digestive System, allowing visualization of physiological functions and structures using specific radionuclides. Examples include imaging of the Upper Gastrointestinal Tract with Technetium 99m (Tc-99m) (code CD151ZZ), Indium 111 (In-111) (code CD15DZZ), or other radionuclides (CD15YZZ). Codes like CD171ZZ and CD17DZZ represent similar planar imaging of the gastrointestinal tract using these agents. The ICD-10-PCS system permits precise documentation by specifying the imaged body part and radionuclide employed in the diagnostic planar nuclear medicine procedure.
Questions About This Page
How many billable codes are in the CD1 range?
Of the 8 codes in this range, 7 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 CD1 range classify?
The range classifies Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging procedures, introduction of radioactive materials into the body for single plane display of images developed from the capture of radioactive emissions, performed on the gastrointestinal system. Each code adds the body part, approach, device, and qualifier in characters four through seven, and links to its own reference page.
