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 CF2Y includes procedures performed to image radioactive tracer distribution in the hepatobiliary system and pancreas. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when tomographic nuclear medicine studies using injected or administered radionuclides are performed to evaluate hepatobiliary or pancreatic anatomy and function. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS CF2Y group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Hepatobiliary System And Pancreas Tomographic Nuclear Medicine Imaging Procedure Overview

The procedures in this ICD-10-PCS group are tomographic nuclear medicine imaging studies that target the hepatobiliary system and pancreas. They involve introduction of radioactive materials and three-dimensional capture of emitted radiation to produce diagnostic images of hepatic, biliary, and pancreatic structures and function. Accurate coding of these procedures supports proper inpatient documentation and helps ensure appropriate case mix classification and reimbursement.

When to Use

Use codes from this group when a patient undergoes tomographic nuclear medicine imaging of the hepatobiliary system or pancreas with administration of a radionuclide. These codes apply when the imaging is performed inpatient and the procedure involves introduction of radioactive material for three-dimensional image capture.

CF2YYZZ	Tomographic (Tomo) Nuclear Medicine Imaging of Hepatobiliary System and Pancreas using Other Radionuclide

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An older adult hospitalized with acute jaundice, right upper-quadrant pain, and abnormal liver function tests after biliary surgery; clinicians suspect postoperative bile leak or obstructed biliary tree and need three-dimensional functional imaging to localize biliary excretion and hepatic uptake. A tomographic nuclear medicine study with injected radionuclide is ordered to assess hepatobiliary excretion dynamics and identify a leak or obstruction. Typical codes: CF2YYZZ
A middle-aged patient admitted electively for evaluation of unexplained chronic right-sided abdominal pain and intermittent steatorrhea when noninvasive ultrasound and CT were inconclusive; the team requires functional imaging of hepatic and pancreatic tracer uptake to assess hepatobiliary and pancreatic excretory function. An inpatient tomographic radionuclide scan is performed to characterize physiologic tracer distribution in the hepatobiliary system and pancreas. Typical codes: CF2YYZZ
A patient in the inpatient setting with suspected acute cholecystitis and atypical imaging who is clinically unstable for immediate surgery; physicians order a tomographic nuclear medicine hepatobiliary study to confirm impaired gallbladder filling and biliary obstruction to guide urgent management. The procedure involves administration of a radionuclide tracer and three-dimensional capture of emitted radiation to evaluate gallbladder and biliary function. Typical codes: CF2YYZZ
