About 0B9F8ZZ
0B9F8ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the right lower lung lobe using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, drainage means taking or letting out fluids and/or gases from a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to puncture of lung, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (33.93).
For a different body part, codes include 0B918ZZ (trachea), 0B928ZZ (carina), 0B938ZZ (right main bronchus), 0B948ZZ (right upper lobe bronchus), 0B958ZZ (right middle lobe bronchus), 0B968ZZ (right lower lobe bronchus) and 14 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0B9F0ZZ (open), 0B9F3ZZ (percutaneous), 0B9F4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0B9F7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening).
With a different device, use 0B9F80Z (drainage 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.
