ICD-10-PCS B91 Imaging: Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat Fluoroscopy
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Fluoroscopy (B91) refers to the use of real-time X-ray imaging to visualize body structures in motion, specifically within the Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat area in this classification. It enables clinicians to observe dynamic processes without invasive procedures.
This imaging technique is particularly useful for assessing functions and mobility of anatomical parts. The provided codes demonstrate fluoroscopy applied to the Pharynx and Epiglottis and Larynx, with options involving the use of Other Contrast agents (codes B91GYZZ, B91JYZZ) or without contrast (codes B91GZZZ, B91JZZZ). Such specificity allows for accurate documentation of the imaging approach reflecting the clinical evaluation of these throat structures. These fluoroscopy codes facilitate detailed reporting in the ICD-10-PCS system for diagnostic imaging of the head and neck region.
List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify B91 - Fluoroscopy (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). There are a total of 5 procedure codes in this section.
