ICD-10-PCS Code For Renal Arteries Bilateral: Procedure Code Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group B438 includes procedures performed to image renal arteries bilaterally using magnetic resonance imaging. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when diagnostic or preprocedural vascular imaging of both renal arteries is performed to evaluate stenosis, aneurysm, or perfusion. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS B438 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Renal Arteries Magnetic Resonance Imaging Procedure Overview
This code group covers magnetic resonance imaging procedures of the renal arteries within the lower arterial system. Procedures involve capture and computer reformatting of multiplanar images developed from radiofrequency signals emitted by nuclei in the renal arterial region. Accurate coding ensures inpatient records reflect the imaging performed and supports correct case mix assignment and reimbursement.
