About 0BHB8GZ

0BHB8GZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the left lower lobe bronchus using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic 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 endoscopic insertion or replacement of bronchial valve(s), single lobe and endoscopic insertion or replacement of bronchial valve(s), multiple lobes, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (33.71 and 33.73).

For a different body part, codes include 0BH38GZ (right main bronchus), 0BH48GZ (right upper lobe bronchus), 0BH58GZ (right middle lobe bronchus), 0BH68GZ (right lower lobe bronchus), 0BH78GZ (left main bronchus), 0BH88GZ (left upper lobe bronchus) and 1 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BHB0GZ (open), 0BHB3GZ (percutaneous), 0BHB4GZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0BHB7GZ (via natural or artificial opening).

It is a non-O.R. procedure that is part of 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.
