About 0BF28ZZ

0BF28ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fragmentation procedure on the carina using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, fragmentation means breaking solid matter in a body part into pieces.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other repair and plastic operations on trachea, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (31.79).

For a different body part, codes include 0BF18ZZ (trachea), 0BF38ZZ (right main bronchus), 0BF48ZZ (right upper lobe bronchus), 0BF58ZZ (right middle lobe bronchus), 0BF68ZZ (right lower lobe bronchus), 0BF78ZZ (left main bronchus) and 3 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BF20ZZ (open), 0BF23ZZ (percutaneous), 0BF24ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0BF27ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0BF2XZZ (external).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 143 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 144 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 145 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), 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 categories “Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R.
