Subclavian Vein, Left ICD-10-PCS Coding

ICD-10-PCS Code For Subclavian Vein, Left: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group B507 includes procedures performed to image venous structures in the left subclavian region. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when plain radiographic imaging of the left subclavian vein is performed for diagnostic evaluation or procedural guidance. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS B507 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the imaging procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Subclavian Vein, Left Plain Radiography Procedure Overview

This procedure group comprises plain radiographic imaging of the left subclavian vein using external ionizing radiation captured on photographic or photoconductive plates. These procedures target the venous system and are performed to visualize the left subclavian vein for diagnostic evaluation. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these imaging procedures ensures correct inpatient documentation and supports appropriate case mix and payment.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when plain radiographic imaging is performed specifically to visualize the left subclavian vein for diagnostic assessment or to check device placement. Codes in this group apply to inpatient encounters where documentation confirms that external ionizing radiation planar imaging of the left subclavian vein was performed.

ICD-10-PCS Code	Description
B5070ZZ	Plain Radiography of Left Subclavian Vein using High Osmolar Contrast
B5071ZZ	Plain Radiography of Left Subclavian Vein using Low Osmolar Contrast
B507YZZ	Plain Radiography of Left Subclavian Vein using Other Contrast

ICD-10-PCS Code

Description

B5070ZZ

Plain Radiography of Left Subclavian Vein using High Osmolar Contrast

B5071ZZ

Plain Radiography of Left Subclavian Vein using Low Osmolar Contrast

B507YZZ

Plain Radiography of Left Subclavian Vein using Other Contrast

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly hospitalized patient with a recently placed left subclavian central venous catheter develops signs concerning for malposition after infusion of contrast for CT; the team requests immediate planar radiography to confirm catheter tip location in the left subclavian region. A plain radiographic image of the left subclavian vein is performed using low osmolar contrast to enhance venous visualization and verify catheter position. The study is performed urgently while the patient remains inpatient to guide further management. Typical codes: B5071ZZ
A patient admitted for scheduled inpatient chemotherapy requires pre-treatment venous mapping to assess patency of the left subclavian vein before infusion port use. As part of planned in-hospital preparation, a plain radiographic study of the left subclavian vein with high osmolar contrast is obtained to delineate venous anatomy and ensure safe vascular access for the therapy. Typical codes: B5070ZZ
A hospitalized patient with a history of prior left subclavian thrombosis presents with recurrent arm swelling and concern for interval venous stenosis. To evaluate residual thrombus and luminal narrowing after anticoagulation, a diagnostic plain radiograph of the left subclavian vein is performed using another type of contrast agent documented in the record. The inpatient imaging helps determine need for further intervention. Typical codes: B507YZZ
