Under the current system, the billing department would use CPT code 70551 for an MRI of the brain without contrast. The matching ICD-10-PCS code is B030ZZZ, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of Brain.
ICD-9-CM is the official system of assigning codes to diagnoses and procedures associated with hospital utilization in the United States. The ICD-9 was used to code and classify mortality data from death certificates until 1999, when use of ICD-10 for mortality coding started.
Magnetic resonance imagingMagnetic resonance imaging / Full nameMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the abdomen. The patient lies on a table that slides into the MRI machine, which takes pictures of the inside of the body.
Computerized Tomography (CT Scan) of Chest, Abdomen and Pelvis using Other Contrast BW25YZZ. ICD-10-PCS code BW25YZZ for Computerized Tomography (CT Scan) of Chest, Abdomen and Pelvis using Other Contrast is a medical classification as listed by CMS under Anatomical Regions range.
ICD-9 uses mostly numeric codes with only occasional E and V alphanumeric codes. Plus, only three-, four- and five-digit codes are valid. ICD-10 uses entirely alphanumeric codes and has valid codes of up to seven digits.

CT Scan vs. MRI. CT scans and MRIs are both used to capture images within your body. The biggest difference is that MRIs (magnetic resonance imaging) use radio waves and CT (computed tomography) scans use X-rays.
ICD-10 code R10. 9 for Unspecified abdominal pain is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .

Ultrasonography of Abdomen ICD-10-PCS BW40ZZZ is a specific/billable code that can be used to indicate a procedure.
Diagnosis codes are used in conjunction with procedure information from claims to support the medical necessity determination for the service rendered and, sometimes, to determine appropriate reimbursement.
2. The CPT code describes what was done to the patient during the consultation, including diagnostic, laboratory, radiology, and surgical procedures while the ICD code identifies a diagnosis and describes a disease or medical condition. 3. CPT codes are more complex than ICD codes.
The ICD-10-CM (International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification) is a system used by physicians and other healthcare providers to classify and code all diagnoses, symptoms and procedures recorded in conjunction with hospital care in the United States.
