About 0BT44ZZ
0BT44ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a resection procedure on the right upper lobe bronchus using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, resection means cutting out or off, without replacement, all of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other excision of bronchus, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (32.1).
For a different body part, codes include 0BT14ZZ (trachea), 0BT24ZZ (carina), 0BT34ZZ (right main bronchus), 0BT54ZZ (right middle lobe bronchus), 0BT64ZZ (right lower lobe bronchus), 0BT74ZZ (left main bronchus) and 13 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BT40ZZ (open).
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.
