ICD-10-PCS Code For Intracranial Arteries: Procedure Code Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group B33R includes procedures performed to image intracranial arteries using magnetic resonance imaging. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when multiplanar MR angiographic studies of cerebral arterial circulation are performed for diagnostic evaluation or treatment planning. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS B33R group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the imaging procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Intracranial Arteries Magnetic Resonance Imaging Procedure Overview
This procedure group includes magnetic resonance imaging studies of the intracranial arteries using computer-reformatted multiplanar images generated from captured radiofrequency signals within a magnetic field. The procedures target the upper arterial circulation supplying the brain and are used to visualize vessel anatomy and flow characteristics. Accurate coding of these inpatient imaging procedures ensures the encounter reflects the diagnostic services provided and supports appropriate inpatient reimbursement.
