ICD-10-PCS BN0 Imaging: Skull and Facial Bones Plain Radiography

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Plain Radiography (code BN0) involves imaging using X-rays to capture detailed pictures of bones and teeth without the use of complex manipulation or advanced imaging techniques. This procedure is part of the Imaging section and is used primarily for diagnostic purposes.

Plain Radiography codes in this category detail imaging of the Skull and Facial Bones, such as the Skull (BN00ZZ), Right or Left Orbit (BN01ZZZ, BN02ZZZ), and Nasal Bones (BN04ZZZ). Additional codes specify imaging of the Temporomandibular Joints with or without contrast media, like high or low osmolar contrast (e.g., BN070ZZ for the Right Temporomandibular Joint using High Osmolar Contrast). Other examples include radiography of the Mandible, Zygomatic Arches, and individual or multiple teeth (BN0GZZZ, BN0HZZZ). These codes enable precise documentation of radiographic procedures focusing on head and facial skeletal structures.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify BN0 - Plain Radiography (planar display of an image developed from the capture of external ionizing radiation on photographic or photoconductive plate). There are a total of 26 procedure codes in this section.
