ICD-10-PCS Code For Hepatobiliary System And Pancreas: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group CF1Y includes procedures performed to image structures in the hepatobiliary system and pancreas using planar nuclear medicine techniques. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a radiopharmaceutical is introduced to obtain single-plane imaging of the liver, biliary tree, gallbladder, or pancreas for diagnostic or functional assessment. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS CF1Y group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Hepatobiliary System And Pancreas Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes planar nuclear medicine imaging studies that target the hepatobiliary system and pancreas, obtained from capture of emitted radiation after introduction of a radiopharmaceutical. These procedures involve introduction of radioactive materials and single-plane image acquisition to evaluate structure and function of the liver, biliary tree, gallbladder, and pancreas. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the specific imaging operation and anatomical target, supporting appropriate case mix assignment and payment.

When to Use

Use these codes when a radiopharmaceutical is introduced into the patient specifically to perform planar nuclear medicine imaging of the hepatobiliary system or pancreas. Assign a code from this group when inpatient documentation indicates single-plane capture of emitted radiation directed at the liver, biliary structures, gallbladder, or pancreas.

CF1YYZZ	Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging of Hepatobiliary System and Pancreas using Other Radionuclide

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An older adult hospitalized with jaundice, right upper quadrant pain, and abnormal liver function tests after recent biliary surgery; the team suspects acute biliary obstruction or leak impairing gallbladder emptying and needs a functional, single‑plane assessment of the hepatobiliary excretory pathway to guide further management. A planar hepatobiliary nuclear medicine study using an injected radiopharmaceutical is ordered to visualize tracer uptake and biliary transit. Typical codes: CF1YYZZ
A middle‑aged patient admitted electively for evaluation of chronic intermittent right‑sided abdominal pain and unexplained episodes of steatorrhea where pancreatic exocrine dysfunction and gallbladder dyskinesia are considerations; inpatient functional imaging is requested to assess hepatobiliary and pancreatic tracer uptake and drainage in a controlled setting. A planar nuclear medicine scan with a radiotracer is performed to evaluate organ function and guide outpatient therapeutic planning. Typical codes: CF1YYZZ
A hospitalized trauma patient with unexplained persistent hypotension and concern for occult hepatic or biliary injury after blunt abdominal trauma; clinicians perform a single‑plane radiopharmaceutical imaging study to detect focal hepatic perfusion defects or bile leaks that might not be apparent on CT. The planar hepatobiliary/pancreatic nuclear medicine scan helps localize functional impairment to inform urgent operative or interventional decisions. Typical codes: CF1YYZZ
