About 0B588ZZ

0B588ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the left upper lobe bronchus using a via natural or artificial opening 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 and Bronchoscopic bronchial thermoplasty, ablation of airway smooth muscle, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (32.01 and 32.27).

For a different body part, codes include 0B518ZZ (trachea), 0B528ZZ (carina), 0B538ZZ (right main bronchus), 0B548ZZ (right upper lobe bronchus), 0B558ZZ (right middle lobe bronchus), 0B568ZZ (right lower lobe bronchus) and 12 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0B580ZZ (open), 0B583ZZ (percutaneous), 0B584ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0B587ZZ (via natural or artificial opening).

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) and DRG 165 (Major Chest Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Major Chest Procedures”.

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