The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group BF03 includes procedures performed to image structures in the gallbladder and bile ducts in the hepatobiliary system and pancreas. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when plain radiography is performed to obtain planar images of the gallbladder and bile ducts using external ionizing radiation. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS BF03 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Gallbladder And Bile Ducts Plain Radiography Procedure Overview
Procedures in this group involve planar display imaging of the gallbladder and bile ducts using external ionizing radiation captured on photographic or photoconductive plate. They target the hepatobiliary system and pancreas and produce plain radiographic images used to evaluate anatomy, calcifications, or radiopaque contrast in the biliary tree. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these imaging procedures is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the imaging performed and supports appropriate case mix grouping.
