BB3

Imaging, Respiratory System, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Not billableICD-10-PCS procedure code.

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 4 more specific codes instead:

  • BB34Z3Z Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of Bilateral Lungs using Hyperpolarized Xenon 129 (Xe-129)
  • BB3GY0Z Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of Lung Apices using Other Contrast, Unenhanced and Enhanced
  • BB3GYZZ Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of Lung Apices using Other Contrast
  • BB3GZZZ Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of Lung Apices

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2014 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.
