About 0B554ZZ

0B554ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the right middle lobe bronchus using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, destruction means physical eradication of all or a portion of a body part by the direct use of energy, force, or a destructive agent.

In plain terms, this corresponds to endoscopic excision or destruction of lesion or tissue of bronchus, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (32.01).

For a different body part, codes include 0B514ZZ (trachea), 0B524ZZ (carina), 0B534ZZ (right main bronchus), 0B544ZZ (right upper lobe bronchus), 0B564ZZ (right lower lobe bronchus), 0B574ZZ (left main bronchus) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0B550ZZ (open), 0B553ZZ (percutaneous), 0B557ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0B558ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

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