ICD-10-PCS BU0 Imaging: Female Reproductive System Plain Radiography

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Plain Radiography (code BU0) refers to imaging procedures that use standard X-ray techniques to visualize anatomical structures. This operation is classified under the Imaging section and is applied to various parts of the female reproductive system.

Plain Radiography involves capturing images using different types of contrast agents to enhance visualization. For example, the codes include imaging of the Right Fallopian Tube (e.g., BU000ZZ for high osmolar contrast), Left Fallopian Tube (e.g., BU010ZZ), Bilateral Fallopian Tubes (e.g., BU020ZZ), and the Uterus (e.g., BU060ZZ). Combinations such as imaging both the Uterus and Fallopian Tubes (e.g., BU080ZZ) and the Vagina (e.g., BU090ZZ) are also coded using this root operation. Variations exist based on the type of contrast used, including high osmolar, low osmolar, and other contrast agents, which assist in better defining the reproductive structures during the plain radiographic study. These codes ensure precise documentation of diagnostic imaging procedures in the female reproductive system.
