About 0B5G3ZZ

0B5G3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the left upper lung lobe using a percutaneous 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 percutaneous ablation of lung lesion or tissue and other local excision or destruction of lesion or tissue of lung, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (32.24 and 32.29).

For a different body part, codes include 0B513ZZ (trachea), 0B523ZZ (carina), 0B533ZZ (right main bronchus), 0B543ZZ (right upper lobe bronchus), 0B553ZZ (right middle lobe bronchus), 0B563ZZ (right lower lobe bronchus) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0B5G0ZZ (open), 0B5G4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0B5G7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0B5G8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 166 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 167 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 168 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures”.

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