About 0B787ZZ

0B787ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a dilation procedure on the left upper lobe bronchus using a via natural or artificial opening approach. In ICD-10-PCS, dilation means expanding an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to bronchial dilation, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (33.91).

For a different body part, codes include 0B717ZZ (trachea), 0B727ZZ (carina), 0B737ZZ (right main bronchus), 0B747ZZ (right upper lobe bronchus), 0B757ZZ (right middle lobe bronchus), 0B767ZZ (right lower lobe bronchus) and 3 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0B780ZZ (open), 0B783ZZ (percutaneous), 0B784ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0B788ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0B787DZ (intraluminal device).

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.
