ICD-10-PCS BW1 Imaging: Anatomical Regions Fluoroscopy

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Fluoroscopy (code BW1) involves real-time imaging of anatomical regions using continuous X-ray to visualize internal structures dynamically. This procedure belongs to the Imaging section and is essential for diagnostic evaluation without intrusive intervention.

Fluoroscopy captures motion and function, often enhanced by contrast agents to improve visualization. The included codes offer detailed examples covering various body areas such as the Abdomen and Pelvis, Head and Neck, Lower Extremity, and Upper Extremity. For instance, BW110ZZ documents fluoroscopy of the abdomen and pelvis using High Osmolar Contrast, while BW19ZZZ refers to fluoroscopy of the head and neck without contrast. These specific distinctions, including contrast type—high osmolar, low osmolar, or other—facilitate precise coding that reflects both the anatomical site and the imaging technique. Understanding how to apply these fluoroscopy codes ensures accurate procedural documentation within the ICD-10-PCS framework.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify BW1 - 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 17 procedure codes in this section.
