About 0BC90ZZ

0BC90ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the lingula bronchus using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to incision of bronchus, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (33.0).

For a different body part, codes include 0BC10ZZ (trachea), 0BC20ZZ (carina), 0BC30ZZ (right main bronchus), 0BC40ZZ (right upper lobe bronchus), 0BC50ZZ (right middle lobe bronchus), 0BC60ZZ (right lower lobe bronchus) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BC93ZZ (percutaneous), 0BC94ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0BC97ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0BC98ZZ (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) and DRG 165 (Major Chest Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Major Chest Procedures”.

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