About 0BF87ZZ

0BF87ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fragmentation procedure on the left upper lobe bronchus using a via natural or artificial opening 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 bronchus, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (33.48).

For a different body part, codes include 0BF17ZZ (trachea), 0BF27ZZ (carina), 0BF37ZZ (right main bronchus), 0BF47ZZ (right upper lobe bronchus), 0BF57ZZ (right middle lobe bronchus), 0BF67ZZ (right lower lobe bronchus) and 3 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BF80ZZ (open), 0BF83ZZ (percutaneous), 0BF84ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0BF88ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0BF8XZZ (external).

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.
