About 0BPL8YZ

0BPL8YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the left lung using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic 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 0BP08YZ (tracheobronchial tree), 0BPK8YZ (right lung), 0BPQ8YZ (pleura) and 0BPT8YZ (diaphragm).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BPL0YZ (open), 0BPL3YZ (percutaneous), 0BPL4YZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0BPL7YZ (via natural or artificial opening).

With a different device, use 0BPL80Z (drainage device), 0BPL81Z (radioactive element), 0BPL82Z (monitoring device) and 0BPL83Z (infusion device).

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), DRG 165 (Major Chest 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 “Major Chest Procedures” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.

It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
