About 0BD48ZX

0BD48ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extraction procedure on the right upper lobe bronchus 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 bronchus, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (33.24).

For a different body part, codes include 0BD18ZX (trachea), 0BD28ZX (carina), 0BD38ZX (right main 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 0BD44ZX (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.
