About 0BHB0GZ

0BHB0GZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the left lower lobe bronchus using an open approach with intraluminal device, endobronchial valve. In ICD-10-PCS, insertion means putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to incision of bronchus, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (33.0).

For a different body part, codes include 0BH30GZ (right main bronchus), 0BH40GZ (right upper lobe bronchus), 0BH50GZ (right middle lobe bronchus), 0BH60GZ (right lower lobe bronchus), 0BH70GZ (left main bronchus), 0BH80GZ (left upper lobe bronchus) and 1 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BHB3GZ (percutaneous), 0BHB4GZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0BHB7GZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0BHB8GZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for 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 category “Major Chest Procedures”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
