About 0BBN8ZZ

0BBN8ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the right pleura using a via natural or artificial opening 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 other excision of pleura, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (34.59).

For a different body part, codes include 0BB18ZZ (trachea), 0BB28ZZ (carina), 0BB38ZZ (right main bronchus), 0BB48ZZ (right upper lobe bronchus), 0BB58ZZ (right middle lobe bronchus), 0BB68ZZ (right lower lobe bronchus) and 14 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BBN0ZZ (open), 0BBN3ZZ (percutaneous) and 0BBN4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 163 (Major Chest Procedures with MCC), DRG 164 (Major Chest Procedures with CC), DRG 165 (Major Chest Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Major Chest Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
