Lungs Fluoroscopy Procedure Overview
This procedure group includes real-time fluoroscopic imaging of the bilateral lungs, a respiratory system study that uses continuous external ionizing radiation to produce moving images on a fluorescent screen and may store images digitally or analogously. Procedures in this group are performed to visualize lung structure and function during diagnostic or therapeutic interventions and target the respiratory system. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding is important for inpatient reimbursement because it captures the specific imaging performed and supports appropriate case mix and payment.
