Understanding ICD-10-PCS Table B53 (Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of Veins)

The ICD-10-PCS (Procedure Coding System) is utilized in U.S. healthcare settings for reporting inpatient hospital procedures. Table B53 belongs to the Imaging section, specifically addressing procedures within the Veins body system, and focuses on the root operation of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).

A complete 7-character ICD-10-PCS code from this table is constructed as follows:

  • Character 1 (Section): B - Imaging
  • Character 2 (Body System): 5 - Veins
  • Character 3 (Root Operation): 3 - Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
  • Character 4 (Character 4): Specifies the exact body part involved in the magnetic resonance imaging (mri).
  • Character 5 (Character 5): Defines the technique (e.g., Open, Percutaneous) used to reach the procedure site.
  • Character 6 (Character 6): Indicates if a device was used during the magnetic resonance imaging (mri) and its type.
  • Character 7 (Character 7): Provides additional specific information or clarifies the procedure.

Accurate assignment of each character based on the operative report and the detailed definitions within the ICD-10-PCS system is essential for correct coding. This page lists all valid options and combinations for table B53 according to the 2025 ICD-10-PCS guidelines.
