ICD-10-PCS Code For Pelvic Region: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group BW2G includes procedures performed to capture computerized tomography images of the pelvic region. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when multiplanar reformatted digital images of the pelvis are created from multiple exposures of external ionizing radiation. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS BW2G group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific imaging modality and anatomical focus performed.

Pelvic Region Computerized Tomography Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes computerized tomography scans of the pelvic region that produce reformatted multiplanar digital images from multiple exposures of external ionizing radiation. These procedures target the anatomical regions of the pelvis and surrounding soft tissues and bones. Accurate coding of these imaging procedures is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the exact imaging modality and anatomical focus used to guide clinical management and supports appropriate case mix classification.

W	Body System	Anatomical Regions
2	Operation	Computerized Tomography (CT Scan)
G	Body Part	Pelvic Region

When to Use

Use a code from this group when a computerized tomography study of the pelvic region produces computer-reformatted multiplanar images derived from multiple exposures of external ionizing radiation. These codes apply when the inpatient encounter requires documentation of the CT imaging modality and specific pelvic anatomical focus for clinical management or billing.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient presents to the emergency department with acute-onset severe lower abdominal and pelvic pain after a fall and is admitted for evaluation of suspected pelvic fracture and possible internal pelvic hemorrhage. The inpatient team orders CT imaging with multiplanar reformats of the pelvis to assess for bony fractures, pelvic ring disruption, and bleeding; both unenhanced and contrast-enhanced phases may be obtained to evaluate hemorrhage and vascular injury. Typical codes: BW2G10Z, BW2G1ZZ
A middle-aged patient is admitted electively for staging of newly diagnosed rectal cancer to evaluate local tumor extent and pelvic lymph node involvement prior to definitive therapy. A contrast-enhanced pelvic CT with computer-reformatted multiplanar images is performed to define tumor invasion, nodal disease, and relationship to pelvic structures for surgical and oncologic planning. Typical codes: BW2G00Z, BW2G0ZZ
A hospitalized patient develops postoperative concern for pelvic abscess after complicated gynecologic surgery, with fever and leukocytosis; clinicians request urgent CT pelvis with multiplanar reconstructions to identify fluid collections, abscess cavities, and guide potential percutaneous drainage. The study is performed with contrast to delineate enhancing rim and surrounding inflammation. Typical codes: BW2GY0Z, BW2GYZZ
