About 0BQL8ZZ
0BQL8ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the left lung using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, repair means restoring, to the extent possible, a body part to its normal anatomic structure and function.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other repair and plastic operations on lung, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (33.49).
For a different body part, codes include 0BQ18ZZ (trachea), 0BQ28ZZ (carina), 0BQ38ZZ (right main bronchus), 0BQ48ZZ (right upper lobe bronchus), 0BQ58ZZ (right middle lobe bronchus), 0BQ68ZZ (right lower lobe bronchus) and 12 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BQL0ZZ (open), 0BQL3ZZ (percutaneous), 0BQL4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0BQL7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening).
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”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
