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

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group C713 includes procedures performed to image radioactive tracer distribution in blood. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when planar nuclear medicine imaging of the lymphatic and hematologic system using intravenously administered radiopharmaceuticals is performed. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS C713 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific imaging procedure performed and determines appropriate case mix and payment.

Blood Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging Procedure Overview

These procedures introduce radioactive materials into the bloodstream to generate single-plane images from captured radioactive emissions and target the lymphatic and hematologic system. They involve tracer administration, image acquisition, and interpretation of planar nuclear medicine scans focused on blood. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding ensures the inpatient record reflects the exact imaging procedure performed and supports appropriate case mix assignment for reimbursement.

When to Use

Use codes from this group when a radiopharmaceutical is introduced into the bloodstream specifically to obtain planar nuclear medicine images of blood for diagnostic purposes. These codes apply when the imaging is performed in the inpatient setting and documentation supports radiotracer administration and single-plane image acquisition.

C713YZZ	Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging of Blood using Other Radionuclide

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient hospitalized for evaluation of unexplained anemia with episodic hematuria and intermittent fevers undergoes inpatient workup to assess for occult intra-vascular hemolysis or sequestration. Because the care team needs planar imaging of blood pool distribution to evaluate for delayed blood clearance or focal pooling consistent with bleeding or sequestration, a radiopharmaceutical is injected intravenously and single‑plane nuclear images are obtained. Typical codes: C713DZZ, C713YZZ
A middle-aged patient admitted after a traumatic crush injury with concern for deep soft‑tissue hematoma and ongoing blood loss is scheduled for bedside planar blood pool imaging to localize active extravasation when CT angiography is inconclusive. An intravenous radiotracer is administered to create single‑plane images of blood distribution to identify sites of active bleeding within the hematologic/lymphatic circulation. Typical codes: C713DZZ, C713YZZ
A hospitalized oncology patient with suspected platelet sequestration and persistent thrombocytopenia despite transfusion is referred for planar nuclear medicine blood pool imaging to evaluate splenic or hepatic pooling as the cause of peripheral cytopenia. The procedure involves IV radiopharmaceutical administration and acquisition of single‑plane imaging to assess abnormal blood component distribution and guide hematology management. Typical codes: C713DZZ, C713YZZ
