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

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group BU06 includes procedures performed to image the uterus using planar display of an image developed from the capture of external ionizing radiation on photographic or photoconductive plate. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a planar radiographic examination of the uterus is performed to evaluate uterine structure or pathology. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS BU06 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific imaging procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Uterus Plain Radiography Procedure Overview

This code group includes plain radiography imaging procedures of the uterus using external ionizing radiation captured on photographic or photoconductive plates. These procedures target the female reproductive system and typically involve planar X-ray views to evaluate uterine anatomy or pathology. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these imaging procedures supports correct inpatient documentation and reimbursement by capturing the specific procedure performed and its anatomical focus.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when a planar radiographic examination of the uterus is performed during an inpatient stay to assess uterine anatomy or suspected pathology. These codes are appropriate when the imaging is performed using external ionizing radiation captured on photographic or photoconductive plates and recorded as part of the inpatient record.

ICD-10-PCS Codes

ICD-10-PCS Code	Description
BU060ZZ	Plain Radiography of Uterus using High Osmolar Contrast
BU061ZZ	Plain Radiography of Uterus using Low Osmolar Contrast
BU06YZZ	Plain Radiography of Uterus using Other Contrast

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A woman admitted for evaluation of acute pelvic pain and abnormal vaginal bleeding after a delayed postpartum period; clinicians suspect retained products of conception or uterine perforation and want a quick planar assessment of uterine contour and presence of radiopaque foreign material before further intervention. A plain radiographic uterine study with contrast may be performed to delineate cavity outline and identify any retained material. Typical codes: BU061ZZ, BU06YZZ
An elective inpatient admission for assessment of chronic infertility where hysterosalpingography-like visualization of the uterine cavity is required to evaluate intrauterine adhesions or uterine contour abnormalities prior to planned assisted reproductive procedures; the patient undergoes a controlled planar radiographic contrast study of the uterus. High or low osmolar contrast agents are selected based on patient allergy history and institutional protocol to opacify the uterine cavity for imaging. Typical codes: BU060ZZ, BU061ZZ
A patient with known uterine fibroids is admitted urgently for evaluation of suspected postprocedural complication after recent uterine instrumentation, presenting with fever and persistent bleeding; clinicians perform a plain radiographic contrast study to assess for cavity disruption, retained surgical material, or filling defects indicating infection or residual tissue. The planar uterine radiography helps guide further surgical or medical management during the inpatient stay. Typical codes: BU06YZZ, BU061ZZ
