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

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group BR2C includes procedures performed to capture and digitally reformat multiplanar images of the pelvis using external ionizing radiation. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when computerized tomography imaging of the pelvic axial skeleton is performed for diagnostic evaluation or treatment planning. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS BR2C group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the imaging procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Pelvis Computerized Tomography Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes computerized tomography imaging of the pelvis, targeting the axial skeleton except skull and facial bones. Procedures involve computer reformatted multiplanar digital displays developed from multiple exposures of external ionizing radiation to visualize pelvic bony structures and surrounding soft tissues. Accurate coding of these inpatient imaging procedures ensures proper documentation of diagnostic services and supports appropriate case mix and reimbursement.

B	Section	Imaging
R	Body System	Axial Skeleton, Except Skull and Facial Bones
2	Operation	Computerized Tomography (CT Scan)
C	Body Part	Pelvis

When to Use

Use a code from this group when inpatient computerized tomography of the pelvic bones and surrounding tissues is performed and a computer reformatted multiplanar display is generated. These codes apply when the procedure documents imaging of the axial skeleton excluding the skull and facial bones for diagnostic or treatment-planning purposes.

ICD-10-PCS Code	Description
BR2C0ZZ	Computerized Tomography (CT Scan) of Pelvis using High Osmolar Contrast
BR2C1ZZ	Computerized Tomography (CT Scan) of Pelvis using Low Osmolar Contrast
BR2CYZZ	Computerized Tomography (CT Scan) of Pelvis using Other Contrast
BR2CZZZ	Computerized Tomography (CT Scan) of Pelvis

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient presents to the emergency department after a fall with focal pelvic pain and inability to bear weight; concern for pelvic ring fracture and possible acetabular involvement leads to inpatient admission for pain control and orthopedic assessment. A CT scan with computer-reformatted multiplanar images is obtained to evaluate complex bony injury and plan potential operative fixation. Typical codes: BR2CZZZ, BR2C1ZZ
A middle-aged patient with a known pelvic malignancy is admitted for staging and treatment planning after new onset pelvic pain and suspected osseous metastases on plain radiographs; detailed cross-sectional imaging is required to delineate bone involvement and relationship to adjacent soft tissues and neurovascular structures. A contrast-enhanced CT of the pelvis with multiplanar reformats is performed to assess extent of disease and guide oncologic management. Typical codes: BR2C0ZZ, BR2CYZZ
A postoperative inpatient following pelvic fracture fixation develops increasing localized pain and concern for hardware malposition or early postoperative infection; the clinical team requests high-resolution imaging to evaluate bony alignment, hardware position, and adjacent collections. A CT pelvis with multiplanar reformatted views is obtained, with or without contrast depending on the need to assess soft-tissue fluid, to guide possible return to the operating room. Typical codes: BR2C1ZZ, BR2CZZZ
