About 0B5F3Z3

0B5F3Z3 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the right lower lung lobe using a percutaneous approach (qualifier: laser interstitial thermal therapy). 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.
