ICD-10-PCS BF1 Imaging: Hepatobiliary System and Pancreas Fluoroscopy
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Fluoroscopy (code BF1) refers to an imaging procedure that uses continuous X-ray to visualize moving anatomy in real time. This operation is specifically applied in the Imaging section to examine the hepatobiliary system and pancreas.
Fluoroscopy within this body system allows physicians to assess and diagnose conditions by viewing live images of structures such as the bile ducts, gallbladder, liver, pancreatic ducts, and their combinations. The codes differentiate the use of various contrast agents—High Osmolar, Low Osmolar, Other Contrast—to enhance visualization. For example, code BF100ZZ describes fluoroscopy of the bile ducts using high osmolar contrast, while code BF141ZZ refers to fluoroscopy of the gallbladder, bile ducts, and pancreatic ducts with low osmolar contrast. Additionally, code BF15ZZA denotes fluoroscopic guidance of the liver. These precise codes ensure detailed documentation of fluoroscopic imaging procedures in hepatobiliary and pancreatic diagnostics.
List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify BF1 - 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 23 procedure codes in this section.
