About 0BBC0ZZ

0BBC0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the right upper lung lobe using an open 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 other local excision or destruction of lesion or tissue of lung, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (32.29).

For a different body part, codes include 0BB10ZZ (trachea), 0BB20ZZ (carina), 0BB30ZZ (right main bronchus), 0BB40ZZ (right upper lobe bronchus), 0BB50ZZ (right middle lobe bronchus), 0BB60ZZ (right lower lobe bronchus) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BBC3ZZ (percutaneous), 0BBC4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0BBC7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0BBC8ZZ (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 820 (Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 821 (Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 822 (Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Major Chest Procedures”, “Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures” and “Myeloproliferative Disorders or Poorly Differentiated Neoplasms with Major O.R. Procedures”.

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