ICD-10-PCS BQ0 Imaging: Non-Axial Lower Bones Plain Radiography

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Plain Radiography (code BQ0) pertains to producing images of non-axial lower bones using standard X-ray techniques. This imaging procedure assists in diagnosis by capturing detailed views of bones without the use of advanced imaging modalities.

Within the Imaging classification, plain radiography codes specify the body part being imaged—such as the Right Hip (BQ000ZZ), Left Knee (BQ08ZZZ), or Right Ankle (BQ0GZZZ)—and detail whether contrast agents are used, including High Osmolar or Low Osmolar Contrast. Variations also cover specialized techniques like densitometry, for example, BQ00ZZ1 denotes plain radiography of the right hip using densitometry. These codes enable precise documentation of X-ray imaging procedures for specific lower bones, facilitating accurate clinical recording and billing.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify BQ0 - 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 47 procedure codes in this section.
