ICD-10-PCS Code For Femur Right: Procedure Code Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group BQ33 includes procedures performed to image the femur using magnetic resonance imaging in the right lower extremity. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when magnetic resonance imaging of the right femur is performed to evaluate bone, marrow, soft tissue, or periosteal pathology. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS BQ33 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the imaging procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Femur, Right Magnetic Resonance Imaging Procedure Overview
This procedure group includes magnetic resonance imaging examinations of the right femur, targeting the non-axial lower bones of the musculoskeletal system. Procedures in this group use magnetic resonance imaging to produce computer-reformatted multiplanar images from radiofrequency signals emitted by excited nuclei within a magnetic field. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding ensures the inpatient record reflects the imaging performed and supports appropriate reimbursement and case mix assignment.
