ICD-10-PCS Code For Single Mammary Duct Right: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group BH03 includes procedures performed to image structures in the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and breast body system using plain radiography. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when planar radiographic imaging of the single mammary duct on the right side is performed to evaluate ductal pathology or for diagnostic assessment. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS BH03 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the imaging procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Single Mammary Duct, Right Plain Radiography Procedure Overview

This group covers plain radiographic imaging of the single mammary duct on the right side and targets the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and breast body system. Procedures in this group involve planar display of an image developed from the capture of external ionizing radiation on a photographic or photoconductive plate. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding ensures inpatient records reflect the imaging performed and supports correct case mix designation and reimbursement.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when inpatient plain radiographic imaging of the right single mammary duct is performed to evaluate suspected ductal disease or to document findings. These codes apply when the imaging modality is planar radiography using external ionizing radiation captured on a photographic or photoconductive plate.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A woman admitted through the emergency department with acute bloody nipple discharge from the right breast and localized periareolar pain. Inpatient plain radiographic imaging of the right single mammary duct is performed using no contrast to evaluate ductal integrity and identify obvious intraductal calcifications or foreign bodies contributing to bleeding. The study is requested urgently to guide further management and possible surgical consultation. Typical codes: BH03ZZZ
A patient scheduled for inpatient diagnostic workup of chronic, intermittent right-sided galactorrhea with an indeterminate ductal filling defect on prior outpatient imaging. During the planned admission, planar radiography of the right single mammary duct is performed using low osmolar contrast to better delineate a suspected intraductal lesion before definitive surgical planning. The focused contrast study helps characterize morphology and extent of the ductal abnormality. Typical codes: BH031ZZ
A patient with persistent drainage from the right nipple after prior duct excision has recurrent suspected residual ductal pathology. To evaluate remaining ductal structures and any postoperative fistulous tract, inpatient plain radiography of the right single mammary duct is performed using high osmolar contrast to maximize visualization of small leaks or complex ductal anatomy. Findings inform whether repeat intervention is necessary. Typical codes: BH030ZZ
