ICD-10-PCS Code For Liver: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group BF25 includes procedures performed to capture computerized tomography images of structures in the liver. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a CT scan of the liver is performed to evaluate pathology, guide management, or stage disease. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS BF25 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific imaging procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Liver Computerized Tomography Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes computerized tomography scans of the liver that generate reformatted multiplanar digital images from multiple exposures of external ionizing radiation. Procedures in this group target the hepatobiliary system and pancreas with imaging focused on the liver to evaluate structure, lesions, or vascular anatomy. Accurate coding of these imaging procedures matters for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the imaging modality used and supports appropriate case mix and payment.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when an inpatient undergoes a CT scan of the liver that generates computer-reformatted multiplanar images. These codes apply when the CT imaging is performed to evaluate liver lesions, vascular structures, trauma, or for preoperative planning.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A 62-year-old patient is admitted from the emergency department with right upper quadrant pain, abnormal liver function tests, and concern for hepatic laceration after a motor vehicle collision. Rapid cross-sectional imaging is ordered to evaluate for traumatic parenchymal injury and intrahepatic bleeding; a CT scan of the liver is performed with and without contrast to detect active hemorrhage and define the extent of injury. The study generates reformatted multiplanar images for surgical planning and potential interventional radiology management. Typical codes: BF2500Z, BF25ZZZ
A 55-year-old patient with a history of colorectal cancer is admitted for staging and treatment planning of newly identified hepatic lesions on prior outpatient imaging. A dedicated inpatient CT of the liver with intravenous contrast is obtained to characterize lesion vascularity and provide multiplanar reformatted images to guide multidisciplinary treatment decisions. The scan is performed using low-osmolar contrast to optimize lesion detection and reduce contrast-related risk in this patient with borderline renal function. Typical codes: BF2510Z
A 68-year-old cirrhotic patient presents with sudden worsening abdominal pain and a drop in hemoglobin after recent transarterial chemoembolization of a hepatic tumor. Concern for postprocedural complication such as abscess, infarction, or hemorrhage prompts an inpatient CT of the liver both without and with contrast to evaluate for ischemic change, fluid collections, or active bleeding using multiplanar reformatting to assist interventional drainage or further endovascular therapy. Typical codes: BF25Y0Z, BF25ZZZ
