ICD-10-PCS BR1 Imaging: Axial Skeleton, Except Skull and Facial Bones Fluoroscopy

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Fluoroscopy (BR1) pertains to imaging techniques that use continuous X-ray to visualize structures in real time. This operation is classified under the Imaging section and is primarily applied to axial skeleton components excluding the skull and facial bones.

Fluoroscopy codes demonstrate its detailed use for various parts of the spine and joints. Examples include imaging of the Cervical Spine with or without contrast agents like high osmolar contrast (BR100ZZ) or low osmolar contrast (BR101ZZ). The procedure extends to specific structures such as Cervical Discs (BR110ZZ), Thoracic Facet Joints (BR150ZZ), and the Pelvis (BR1CZZZ). The codes also cover fluoroscopy with different types of contrast, including Other Contrast options, reflecting the flexibility in diagnostic imaging approaches. This coding specificity supports accurate documentation of fluoroscopic exams across diverse anatomical sites within the axial skeleton.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify BR1 - 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 65 procedure codes in this section.
