Kidneys Fluoroscopy Procedure Overview
This procedure group includes single plane or bi-plane real time display imaging of the kidneys developed from external ionizing radiation captured on a fluorescent screen, with images optionally stored digitally or by analog means. These procedures target the urinary system and involve fluoroscopic visualization to assess structure and function or guide interventions. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the imaging modality and anatomic focus used during the encounter. Correct coding supports clinical records and appropriate case mix assignment.
