About 0BWQ72Z

0BWQ72Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the pleura using a via natural or artificial opening approach with monitoring 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 0BW072Z (tracheobronchial tree), 0BW172Z (trachea), 0BWK72Z (right lung), 0BWL72Z (left lung) and 0BWT72Z (diaphragm).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BWQ02Z (open), 0BWQ32Z (percutaneous), 0BWQ42Z (percutaneous endoscopic), 0BWQ82Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0BWQX2Z (external).

With a different device, use 0BWQ70Z (drainage 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.
