About 0BH18YZ

0BH18YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the trachea using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach with other device. 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 intubation of respiratory tract, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (96.05).

For a different body part, codes include 0BH08YZ (tracheobronchial tree), 0BHK8YZ (right lung), 0BHL8YZ (left lung), 0BHQ8YZ (pleura) and 0BHT8YZ (diaphragm).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BH10YZ (open), 0BH13YZ (percutaneous), 0BH14YZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0BH17YZ (via natural or artificial opening).

With a different device, use 0BH182Z (monitoring device), 0BH18DZ (intraluminal device) and 0BH18EZ (intraluminal device, endotracheal airway).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

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