About 0B9G7ZZ

0B9G7ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the left upper lung lobe using a via natural or artificial opening approach. In ICD-10-PCS, drainage means taking or letting out fluids and/or gases from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to puncture of lung, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (33.93).

For a different body part, codes include 0B917ZZ (trachea), 0B927ZZ (carina), 0B937ZZ (right main bronchus), 0B947ZZ (right upper lobe bronchus), 0B957ZZ (right middle lobe bronchus), 0B967ZZ (right lower lobe bronchus) and 12 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0B9G0ZZ (open), 0B9G3ZZ (percutaneous), 0B9G4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0B9G8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0B9G70Z (drainage device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 166 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 167 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 168 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
