About 0BBF8ZX

0BBF8ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the right lower lung lobe using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach (qualifier: diagnostic). In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to closed endoscopic biopsy of lung, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (33.27).

For a different body part, codes include 0BB18ZX (trachea), 0BB28ZX (carina), 0BB38ZX (right main bronchus), 0BB48ZX (right upper lobe bronchus), 0BB58ZX (right middle lobe bronchus), 0BB68ZX (right lower lobe bronchus) and 14 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BBF0ZX (open), 0BBF3ZX (percutaneous), 0BBF4ZX (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0BBF7ZX (via natural or artificial opening).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 166 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 167 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 168 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 361 (Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures with MCC) and DRG 362 (Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures without MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures” and “Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures”.

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