ICD-10-PCS BH4 Imaging: Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Ultrasonography

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Ultrasonography (Code BH4) involves using ultrasound imaging to visualize internal structures without making an incision. This operation falls under the Imaging section and is essential for non-invasive diagnostic evaluation of various tissues.

Ultrasonography is applied to image the Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue, and Breast, as well as other anatomical regions like the extremities and chest wall, providing real-time assessment. For example, specific codes denote ultrasound exams of the Right Breast (BH40ZZZ), Left Breast (BH41ZZZ), and Bilateral Breasts (BH42ZZZ). Additional codes include ultrasonography of the Upper Extremity (BH47ZZZ), Lower Extremity (BH48ZZZ), Abdominal Wall (BH49ZZZ), Chest Wall (BH4BZZZ), and Head and Neck (BH4CZZZ). These codes facilitate precise documentation of ultrasound imaging procedures targeting specific body parts for diagnostic purposes.
