About 0BBP8ZX

0BBP8ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the left pleura 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 other pleural biopsy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (34.24).

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 0BBP0ZX (open), 0BBP3ZX (percutaneous) and 0BBP4ZX (percutaneous endoscopic).

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) and DRG 168 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures”.

It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
