About 0BPQ02Z

0BPQ02Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the pleura using an open approach with monitoring device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other incision of pleura, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (34.09).

For a different body part, codes include 0BP002Z (tracheobronchial tree), 0BP102Z (trachea), 0BPK02Z (right lung), 0BPL02Z (left lung) and 0BPT02Z (diaphragm).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BPQ32Z (percutaneous), 0BPQ42Z (percutaneous endoscopic), 0BPQ72Z (via natural or artificial opening), 0BPQ82Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0BPQX2Z (external).

With a different device, use 0BPQ00Z (drainage device), 0BPQ01Z (radioactive element) and 0BPQ0YZ (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.
