About 0BN47ZZ

0BN47ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a release procedure on the right upper lobe bronchus using a via natural or artificial opening approach. In ICD-10-PCS, release means freeing a body part from an abnormal physical constraint by cutting or by the use of force.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other repair and plastic operations on bronchus, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (33.48).

For a different body part, codes include 0BN17ZZ (trachea), 0BN27ZZ (carina), 0BN37ZZ (right main bronchus), 0BN57ZZ (right middle lobe bronchus), 0BN67ZZ (right lower lobe bronchus), 0BN77ZZ (left main bronchus) and 12 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BN40ZZ (open), 0BN43ZZ (percutaneous), 0BN44ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0BN48ZZ (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.
