About 0B5K7ZZ

0B5K7ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the right lung using a via natural or artificial opening 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 other and unspecified 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 (32.26 and 32.29).

For a different body part, codes include 0B517ZZ (trachea), 0B527ZZ (carina), 0B537ZZ (right main bronchus), 0B547ZZ (right upper lobe bronchus), 0B557ZZ (right middle lobe bronchus), 0B567ZZ (right lower lobe bronchus) and 12 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0B5K0ZZ (open), 0B5K3ZZ (percutaneous), 0B5K4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0B5K8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening 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 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Major Chest Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

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