ICD-10-PCS C76 Nuclear Medicine: Lymphatic and Hematologic System Nonimaging Nuclear Medicine Assay

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Nonimaging Nuclear Medicine Assay (code C76) refers to a diagnostic procedure that analyzes the lymphatic and hematologic system using nuclear medicine techniques without generating imaging. This means it measures radioactive tracers in samples like blood to assess physiological function.

Within the Nuclear Medicine classification, these codes specify the use of various radionuclides for nonimaging assays. For example, code C7631ZZ denotes a blood assay using Technetium 99m (Tc-99m), while others include assays with Cobalt 58 (C7637ZZ), Indium 111 (C763DZZ), or Iodine 125 (C763HZZ). There are also codes for assays utilizing Chromium (C763WZZ) or an Other Radionuclide (C763YZZ, C76YYZZ). These precise codes enable detailed documentation of nonimaging nuclear medicine tests critical to evaluating blood and lymphatic system disorders, contributing to accurate coding and patient care management.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify C76 - Nonimaging Nuclear Medicine Assay (introduction of radioactive materials into the body for the study of body fluids and blood elements, by the detection of radioactive emissions). There are a total of 9 procedure codes in this section.
