ICD-10-PCS Code For Common Carotid Arteries: Procedure Code Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group B335 includes procedures performed to image vascular structures in the common carotid arteries, bilateral. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when magnetic resonance imaging is performed to evaluate bilateral common carotid artery anatomy or pathology. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS B335 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the imaging procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Common Carotid Arteries Magnetic Resonance Imaging Procedure Overview
This code group includes magnetic resonance imaging procedures of the common carotid arteries, bilateral, targeting the upper arterial system. These procedures capture multiplanar images developed from radiofrequency signals emitted by nuclei in the body when excited within a magnetic field. Accurate coding of these imaging procedures ensures inpatient records reflect the diagnostic study performed and supports appropriate inpatient reimbursement and case mix classification.
