Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of Left Shoulder using Other Contrast

ValidICD-10-PCS procedure code.

Valid for claims with a date of service in the current code year.

Valid FY2016 onwards.

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.

FY2014 Added to the draft code set draft Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of Left Shoulder using Other Contrast
