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

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group BF26 includes procedures performed to image and digitally reformat multiplanar representations of the liver and spleen. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when computerized tomography is performed to evaluate hepatic or splenic pathology and multiplanar reformats are generated for diagnostic review. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS BF26 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific imaging procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Liver And Spleen Computerized Tomography Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes computerized tomography imaging procedures that create reformatted multiplanar digital displays of the liver and spleen. The procedures target the hepatobiliary system and pancreas, focusing on the liver and spleen as the anatomical sites of interest. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding is important to reflect the imaging performed and to support appropriate inpatient documentation and reimbursement.

Liver And Spleen Computerized Tomography Procedure Overview

Code Attributes

Character	ICD-10-PCS Category	Code Group Details
B	Section	Imaging
F	Body System	Hepatobiliary System and Pancreas
2	Operation	Computerized Tomography (CT Scan)
6	Body Part	Liver and Spleen

When to Use

Use codes from this group when computerized tomography of the liver and spleen is performed and multiplanar digital reformats are produced from multiple external ionizing radiation exposures. These codes apply when the imaging is performed during an inpatient stay and the reformatted multiplanar displays are part of the documented procedure.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A 62-year-old man presents to the emergency department with sudden onset right upper quadrant pain, fever, and hypotension. Laboratory studies show elevated liver enzymes and contrast-enhanced CT is ordered to evaluate for hepatic abscess and potential intra-abdominal source of sepsis; multiplanar reformatted images are generated after contrast administration to delineate abscess size, loculations, and relationship to vascular structures. Because both noncontrast and contrast-enhanced phases are obtained to assess for hemorrhage and to characterize the lesion, the corresponding code reflects unenhanced and enhanced CT of the liver and spleen. Typical codes: BF2610Z
A 54-year-old woman with a history of colorectal cancer is admitted for staging and surveillance imaging to evaluate suspected hepatic metastases identified on outpatient ultrasound. A multiphase CT protocol of the liver and spleen is performed with low osmolar iodinated contrast, including unenhanced and enhanced acquisitions, and multiplanar reformatted images are produced to assist surgical planning. The use of low osmolar contrast and acquisition of both unenhanced and enhanced images matches the selected code. Typical codes: BF2610Z
A 70-year-old patient with known chronic kidney disease undergoes inpatient CT of the liver and spleen to evaluate a newly discovered splenic lesion; due to prior contrast reactions and renal impairment, the study is performed without contrast using CT acquisition and multiplanar reformats to characterize lesion morphology and guide further management. Because no contrast is administered, the appropriate code without contrast enhancement is used. Typical codes: BF26ZZZ
