About 0BWL73Z

0BWL73Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the left lung using a via natural or artificial opening approach with infusion device. In ICD-10-PCS, revision means correcting, to the extent possible, a portion of a malfunctioning device or the position of a displaced device.

In plain terms, this corresponds to incision of lung, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (33.1).

For a different body part, codes include 0BW073Z (tracheobronchial tree) and 0BWK73Z (right lung).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BWL03Z (open), 0BWL33Z (percutaneous), 0BWL43Z (percutaneous endoscopic), 0BWL83Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0BWLX3Z (external).

With a different device, use 0BWL70Z (drainage device), 0BWL72Z (monitoring device) and 0BWL7YZ (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.
