ICD-10-PCS Code For Fallopian Tubes: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group BU02 includes procedures performed to obtain plain radiographic images of structures in the fallopian tubes, bilateral. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when static radiographic imaging of both fallopian tubes is performed to evaluate patency, anatomy, or suspected pathology. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS BU02 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific imaging performed and determines appropriate case mix and payment.

Fallopian Tubes Plain Radiography Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes plain radiography imaging of the bilateral fallopian tubes using external ionizing radiation captured on photographic or photoconductive plates. Procedures target the female reproductive system and involve obtaining static radiographic images to evaluate the patency, structure, or abnormalities of both fallopian tubes. Accurate coding of these imaging procedures is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the specific imaging performed and supports appropriate case mix and payment.

BU02YZZ	Plain Radiography of Bilateral Fallopian Tubes using Other Contrast

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A 32-year-old woman admitted for evaluation of primary infertility after 12 months of unprotected intercourse undergoes inpatient diagnostic imaging to assess tubal patency when outpatient testing was inconclusive; static radiographic images of both fallopian tubes are obtained with contrast to evaluate for bilateral tubal obstruction or hydrosalpinx. Typical codes: BU021ZZ, BU02YZZ
A 28-year-old woman presents to the hospital with acute lower abdominal pain and fever following a recent pelvic infection; to determine whether bilateral tubal involvement or tubo-ovarian abscess has caused structural changes, plain radiographic imaging of both fallopian tubes using contrast is performed as part of inpatient workup. Typical codes: BU020ZZ, BU021ZZ
A 40-year-old woman scheduled for inpatient re-evaluation of previously repaired bilateral tubal ligation (suspected recanalization) undergoes postoperative plain radiography with contrast to document anatomy and confirm bilateral patency prior to further management. Typical codes: BU021ZZ, BU02YZZ
