About 0B9840Z

0B9840Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the left upper lobe bronchus using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with drainage device. In ICD-10-PCS, drainage means taking or letting out fluids and/or gases from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to incision of bronchus, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (33.0).

For a different body part, codes include 0B9140Z (trachea), 0B9240Z (carina), 0B9340Z (right main bronchus), 0B9440Z (right upper lobe bronchus), 0B9540Z (right middle lobe bronchus), 0B9640Z (right lower lobe bronchus) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0B9800Z (open), 0B9830Z (percutaneous), 0B9870Z (via natural or artificial opening) and 0B9880Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0B984ZZ (no device).

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.
