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

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group BU09 includes procedures performed to capture planar radiographic images of structures in the vagina. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when plain radiography of the vagina is performed for diagnostic evaluation or procedural guidance. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS BU09 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the imaging procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Vagina Plain Radiography Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve planar display imaging of the vagina using external ionizing radiation captured on photographic or photoconductive plates. These procedures target the female reproductive system and produce plain radiographic images used for diagnosis or treatment planning. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these imaging procedures ensures proper inpatient documentation and supports correct case mix assignment for reimbursement.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when inpatient plain radiographic imaging of the vagina is performed as part of diagnostic evaluation or to guide treatment. Select the specific ICD-10-PCS BU09 code that matches the imaging technique and laterality as documented in the medical record.

ICD-10-PCS Codes

3 rows

ICD-10-PCS Code	Description
BU090ZZ	Plain Radiography of Vagina using High Osmolar Contrast
BU091ZZ	Plain Radiography of Vagina using Low Osmolar Contrast
BU09YZZ	Plain Radiography of Vagina using Other Contrast

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A premenopausal woman is admitted for evaluation of acute pelvic pain and suspected vaginal foreign body after attempted self-removal failed in the emergency department; clinicians obtain inpatient planar radiography to localize a radiopaque object within the vagina to guide removal and rule out adjacent pelvic injury. Typical codes: BU09YZZ.
A patient scheduled for inpatient assessment of persistent abnormal vaginal bleeding undergoes diagnostic plain radiographic imaging of the vagina as part of a staged workup to evaluate for structural causes and to document vaginal anatomy prior to planned operative intervention; contrast material is administered to enhance visualization per clinician order. Typical codes: BU091ZZ, BU090ZZ.
A postoperative inpatient with suspected contrast extravasation after vaginal contrast study presents with increasing pain and swelling; repeat planar radiography of the vagina using a different contrast medium is performed to evaluate for leakage or retained contrast and to assist decisions about further intervention. Typical codes: BU09YZZ, BU090ZZ.
