About 0BPT8MZ

0BPT8MZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the diaphragm using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach with diaphragmatic pacemaker lead. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other operations on diaphragm, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (34.89).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BPT0MZ (open), 0BPT3MZ (percutaneous), 0BPT4MZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0BPT7MZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0BPTXMZ (external).

With a different device, use 0BPT80Z (drainage device), 0BPT82Z (monitoring device), 0BPT87Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0BPT8JZ (synthetic substitute), 0BPT8KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 0BPT8YZ (other 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) and DRG 165 (Major Chest Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Major Chest Procedures”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
