About 0BPQ4YZ

0BPQ4YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the pleura using a percutaneous 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 other incision of pleura, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (34.09).

For a different body part, codes include 0BP04YZ (tracheobronchial tree), 0BPK4YZ (right lung), 0BPL4YZ (left lung) and 0BPT4YZ (diaphragm).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BPQ0YZ (open), 0BPQ3YZ (percutaneous), 0BPQ7YZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0BPQ8YZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0BPQ40Z (drainage device), 0BPQ41Z (radioactive element) and 0BPQ42Z (monitoring 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.
