About 0BD18ZX

0BD18ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extraction procedure on the trachea using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach (qualifier: diagnostic). In ICD-10-PCS, extraction means pulling or stripping out or off all or a portion of a body part by the use of force.

In plain terms, this corresponds to closed [endoscopic] biopsy of trachea, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (31.44).

For a different body part, codes include 0BD28ZX (carina), 0BD38ZX (right main bronchus), 0BD48ZX (right upper lobe bronchus), 0BD58ZX (right middle lobe bronchus), 0BD68ZX (right lower lobe bronchus), 0BD78ZX (left main bronchus) and 12 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BD14ZX (percutaneous endoscopic).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

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