BL3

Imaging, Connective Tissue, 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 12 more specific codes instead:

  • BL30Y0Z Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of Upper Extremity Connective Tissue using Other Contrast, Unenhanced and Enhanced
  • BL30YZZ Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of Upper Extremity Connective Tissue using Other Contrast
  • BL30ZZZ Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of Upper Extremity Connective Tissue
  • BL31Y0Z Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of Lower Extremity Connective Tissue using Other Contrast, Unenhanced and Enhanced
  • BL31YZZ Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of Lower Extremity Connective Tissue using Other Contrast
  • BL31ZZZ Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of Lower Extremity Connective Tissue
  • BL32Y0Z Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of Upper Extremity Tendons using Other Contrast, Unenhanced and Enhanced
  • BL32YZZ Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of Upper Extremity Tendons using Other Contrast
  • BL32ZZZ Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of Upper Extremity Tendons
  • BL33Y0Z Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of Lower Extremity Tendons using Other Contrast, Unenhanced and Enhanced
  • BL33YZZ Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of Lower Extremity Tendons using Other Contrast
  • BL33ZZZ Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of Lower Extremity Tendons

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.
