About 0BPL7YZ
0BPL7YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the left lung using a via natural or artificial opening approach with other device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to removal of other device from thorax, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (97.49).
For a different body part, codes include 0BP07YZ (tracheobronchial tree), 0BPK7YZ (right lung), 0BPQ7YZ (pleura) and 0BPT7YZ (diaphragm).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BPL0YZ (open), 0BPL3YZ (percutaneous), 0BPL4YZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0BPL8YZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0BPL70Z (drainage device), 0BPL71Z (radioactive element), 0BPL72Z (monitoring device) and 0BPL73Z (infusion device).
It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.
It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
