ICD-10-PCS Code For Hip Left: Procedure Code Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group BQ31 includes procedures performed to image the non-axial lower bones in the left hip using magnetic resonance imaging. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a patient requires diagnostic or preoperative evaluation of the left hip using magnetic resonance imaging. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS BQ31 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the imaging procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Hip Left Magnetic Resonance Imaging Procedure Overview
This code group includes inpatient magnetic resonance imaging procedures of the left hip, targeting the non-axial lower bones of the hip region. These procedures capture multiplanar images by detecting radiofrequency signals emitted by nuclei in the body when excited in a magnetic field to evaluate bone and surrounding soft tissue. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding ensures the imaging procedure is documented correctly for inpatient records and supports appropriate case mix assignment and payment.
