About 0BWQ70Z

0BWQ70Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the pleura using a via natural or artificial opening approach with drainage 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 other incision of pleura, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (34.09).

For a different body part, codes include 0BW070Z (tracheobronchial tree), 0BW170Z (trachea), 0BWK70Z (right lung), 0BWL70Z (left lung) and 0BWT70Z (diaphragm).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BWQ00Z (open), 0BWQ30Z (percutaneous), 0BWQ40Z (percutaneous endoscopic), 0BWQ80Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0BWQX0Z (external).

With a different device, use 0BWQ72Z (monitoring device) and 0BWQ7YZ (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.
