About 0BU28KZ

0BU28KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a supplement procedure on the carina using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach with nonautologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, supplement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically reinforces and/or augments the function of a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other repair and plastic operations on trachea, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (31.79).

For a different body part, codes include 0BU18KZ (trachea), 0BU38KZ (right main bronchus), 0BU48KZ (right upper lobe bronchus), 0BU58KZ (right middle lobe bronchus), 0BU68KZ (right lower lobe bronchus), 0BU78KZ (left main bronchus) and 3 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BU20KZ (open) and 0BU24KZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0BU287Z (autologous tissue substitute) and 0BU28JZ (synthetic substitute).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 143 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 144 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 145 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), 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 categories “Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures”, “Major Chest Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.

It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
