About 0BBM4ZZ
0BBM4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the bilateral lungs using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to endoscopic excision or destruction of lesion or tissue of lung, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (32.28).
For a different body part, codes include 0BB14ZZ (trachea), 0BB24ZZ (carina), 0BB34ZZ (right main bronchus), 0BB44ZZ (right upper lobe bronchus), 0BB54ZZ (right middle lobe bronchus), 0BB64ZZ (right lower lobe bronchus) and 15 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BBM0ZZ (open), 0BBM3ZZ (percutaneous), 0BBM7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0BBM8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).
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.
