About 0BB98ZZ

0BB98ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the lingula bronchus using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to endoscopic excision or destruction of lesion or tissue of bronchus, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (32.01).

For a different body part, codes include 0BB18ZZ (trachea), 0BB28ZZ (carina), 0BB38ZZ (right main bronchus), 0BB48ZZ (right upper lobe bronchus), 0BB58ZZ (right middle lobe bronchus), 0BB68ZZ (right lower lobe bronchus) and 14 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BB90ZZ (open), 0BB93ZZ (percutaneous), 0BB94ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0BB97ZZ (via natural or artificial opening).

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.
