About 0BCN3ZZ

0BCN3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the right pleura using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other incision of pleura, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (34.09).

For a different body part, codes include 0BC13ZZ (trachea), 0BC23ZZ (carina), 0BC33ZZ (right main bronchus), 0BC43ZZ (right upper lobe bronchus), 0BC53ZZ (right middle lobe bronchus), 0BC63ZZ (right lower lobe bronchus) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BCN0ZZ (open) and 0BCN4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

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.
