About ICD-9-CM 33.26
33.26 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for closed [percutaneous] [needle] biopsy of lung. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-PCS took over.
The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 45 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0B9C3ZX (Drainage of Right Upper Lung Lobe, Percutaneous Approach, Diagnostic), 0B9C4ZX (Drainage of Right Upper Lung Lobe, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach, Diagnostic) and 0B9C7ZX (Drainage of Right Upper Lung Lobe, Via Natural or Artificial Opening, Diagnostic). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
