About 0BHL02Z

0BHL02Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the left lung using an open approach with monitoring device. 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 lung, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (33.1).

For a different body part, codes include 0BH002Z (tracheobronchial tree), 0BH102Z (trachea), 0BHK02Z (right lung) and 0BHT02Z (diaphragm).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BHL32Z (percutaneous), 0BHL42Z (percutaneous endoscopic), 0BHL72Z (via natural or artificial opening) and 0BHL82Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0BHL01Z (radioactive element), 0BHL03Z (infusion device) and 0BHL0YZ (other device).

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), DRG 165 (Major Chest Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Major Chest Procedures” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.

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