About 0BHL41Z

0BHL41Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the left lung using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with radioactive element. 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 implantation or insertion of radioactive elements, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (92.27).

For a different body part, codes include 0BH041Z (tracheobronchial tree) and 0BHK41Z (right lung).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BHL01Z (open), 0BHL31Z (percutaneous), 0BHL71Z (via natural or artificial opening) and 0BHL81Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0BHL42Z (monitoring device), 0BHL43Z (infusion device) and 0BHL4YZ (other device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 166 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 167 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 168 (Other Respiratory System O.R. 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 “Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.

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