ICD-10-PCS BH0 Imaging: Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Plain Radiography
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Plain Radiography (code BH0) involves producing images of the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and breast using standard X-ray technology without additional complex imaging methods. This operation is classified under the Imaging section and is essential for non-invasive diagnostic visualization.
This procedure includes a variety of specific codes that capture different target locations and techniques. For example, plain radiography can be performed on the right breast (BH00ZZZ), left breast (BH01ZZZ), or bilateral breasts (BH02ZZZ). More detailed procedures include imaging of single or multiple mammary ducts using various types of contrast media, such as high osmolar contrast (BH030ZZ, right single duct) or low osmolar contrast (BH041ZZ, left single duct). These codes reflect the precision required to document the imaging of specific ducts and breast regions with or without contrast enhancement, providing clinical and coding clarity in breast diagnostic imaging.
List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify BH0 - Plain Radiography (planar display of an image developed from the capture of external ionizingradiation on photographic or photoconductive plate). There are a total of 20 procedure codes in this section.
