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

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group BU08 includes procedures performed to capture planar radiographic images of the uterus and fallopian tubes. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when planar radiography of the female reproductive system is performed to evaluate uterine or fallopian tube structure or pathology. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS BU08 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the imaging procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Uterus And Fallopian Tubes Plain Radiography Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes plain radiography of the uterus and fallopian tubes developed from captured external ionizing radiation on photographic or photoconductive plates. These imaging procedures target the female reproductive system and produce planar radiographic images used for diagnosis and treatment planning. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding ensures inpatient records reflect the imaging performed and supports correct case mix assignment and reimbursement.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when inpatient planar radiography of the uterus and/or fallopian tubes is performed to evaluate anatomy or suspected pathology. These codes apply when the imaging modality is plain radiography captured with external ionizing radiation and recorded on photographic or photoconductive media.

ICD-10-PCS Code	Description
BU080ZZ	Plain Radiography of Uterus and Fallopian Tubes using High Osmolar Contrast
BU081ZZ	Plain Radiography of Uterus and Fallopian Tubes using Low Osmolar Contrast
BU08YZZ	Plain Radiography of Uterus and Fallopian Tubes using Other Contrast

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A reproductive-age woman is admitted with acute lower abdominal pain and fever after recent assisted fertility procedures; concern for tubal injury or retained contrast from prior hysterosalpingography prompts inpatient planar radiography of the uterus and fallopian tubes to assess tubal patency and identify extravasation. Typical codes: BU081ZZ, BU08YZZ
A woman undergoing inpatient workup for unexplained infertility is scheduled for diagnostic imaging to evaluate uterine contour and fallopian tube patency; during the planned, elective hospital-based study, plain radiography with contrast is used to obtain planar images of the uterus and fallopian tubes for treatment planning. Typical codes: BU080ZZ, BU081ZZ
A patient admitted for postoperative evaluation after gynecologic surgery develops suspected uterine or tubal leak with abnormal pelvic drainage; bedside plain radiography with contrast is performed to visualize the uterus and fallopian tubes and detect leakage or anatomic disruption. Typical codes: BU08YZZ, BU081ZZ
