About 02BN3ZX

02BN3ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the pericardium using a percutaneous approach (qualifier: diagnostic). In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to biopsy of pericardium, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (37.24).

For a different body part, codes include 02B43ZX (coronary vein), 02B53ZX (atrial septum), 02B63ZX (right atrium), 02B73ZX (left atrium), 02B83ZX (conduction mechanism), 02B93ZX (chordae tendineae) and 16 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 02BN0ZX (open) and 02BN4ZX (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 163 (Major Chest Procedures with MCC), DRG 164 (Major Chest Procedures with CC), DRG 165 (Major Chest Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 270 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures with MCC), DRG 271 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures with CC) and DRG 272 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Major Chest Procedures”, “Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures”, “Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures” and 1 more.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
