About 0BH13EZ

0BH13EZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the trachea using a percutaneous approach with intraluminal device, endotracheal airway. In ICD-10-PCS, insertion means putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other operations on trachea, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (31.99).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BH17EZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0BH18EZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0BH13DZ (intraluminal device) and 0BH13YZ (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.
