About 0BPK71Z

0BPK71Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the right lung using a via natural or artificial opening approach with radioactive element. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from 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 0BP071Z (tracheobronchial tree), 0BPL71Z (left lung) and 0BPQ71Z (pleura).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BPK01Z (open), 0BPK31Z (percutaneous), 0BPK41Z (percutaneous endoscopic), 0BPK81Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0BPKX1Z (external).

With a different device, use 0BPK70Z (drainage device), 0BPK72Z (monitoring device), 0BPK73Z (infusion device) and 0BPK7YZ (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.
