About 0BHL72Z

0BHL72Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the left lung using a via natural or artificial opening 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 other intubation of respiratory tract, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (96.05).

For a different body part, codes include 0BH072Z (tracheobronchial tree), 0BH172Z (trachea) and 0BHK72Z (right lung).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BHL02Z (open), 0BHL32Z (percutaneous), 0BHL42Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0BHL82Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0BHL71Z (radioactive element), 0BHL73Z (infusion device) and 0BHL7YZ (other device).

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.
