About 0BPT72Z

0BPT72Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the diaphragm using a via natural or artificial opening 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 removal of other device from thorax, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (97.49).

For a different body part, codes include 0BP072Z (tracheobronchial tree), 0BP172Z (trachea), 0BPK72Z (right lung), 0BPL72Z (left lung) and 0BPQ72Z (pleura).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BPT02Z (open), 0BPT32Z (percutaneous), 0BPT42Z (percutaneous endoscopic), 0BPT82Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0BPTX2Z (external).

With a different device, use 0BPT70Z (drainage device), 0BPT77Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0BPT7JZ (synthetic substitute), 0BPT7KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute), 0BPT7MZ (diaphragmatic pacemaker lead) and 0BPT7YZ (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.
