ICD-10-PCS BQ1 Imaging: Non-Axial Lower Bones Fluoroscopy

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Fluoroscopy (code BQ1) refers to obtaining real-time moving images of a body part using fluoroscopic imaging technology. This operation is classified under the Imaging section and specifically targets non-axial lower bones.

This ICD-10-PCS Fluoroscopy operation is used to visualize structures such as the hips, femurs, knees, ankles, feet, and toes, allowing dynamic assessment during contrast studies or without contrast. For example, fluoroscopy of the Right Hip can be coded with or without the use of contrast agents like high or low osmolar contrast (codes like BQ100ZZ and BQ101ZZ). Similarly, imaging of the Left Knee or Right Ankle uses corresponding codes that reflect side, anatomical site, and contrast usage (e.g., BQ181ZZ for Left Knee with Low Osmolar Contrast, BQ1GYZZ for Right Ankle with Other Contrast). Accurately coding these procedures ensures proper documentation of the diagnostic imaging performed on specific lower bone sites using fluoroscopy.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify BQ1 - 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 45 procedure codes in this section.
