ICD-10-PCS BN1 Imaging: Skull and Facial Bones Fluoroscopy

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Fluoroscopy (code starting with BN1) refers to imaging techniques that provide real-time x-ray views of anatomical structures. This procedure is vital in diagnostic imaging, specifically within the Imaging section for areas such as the Skull and Facial Bones.

Fluoroscopy enables dynamic assessment of joints and bones, often enhanced by contrast media to improve visualization. The codes listed exemplify its use on the Temporomandibular Joints, with options for right, left, or bilateral imaging. Contrast types include High Osmolar, Low Osmolar, and Other Contrast, allowing for precise documentation based on the imaging technique and substances administered. For example, BN170ZZ describes fluoroscopy of the right temporomandibular joint with high osmolar contrast, while BN19ZZZ represents bilateral joint fluoroscopy without contrast. Accurate application of these fluoroscopy codes ensures detailed records of diagnostic procedures involving the skull and facial region.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify BN1 - 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 13 procedure codes in this section.
