About 0BJKXZZ

0BJKXZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a inspection procedure on the right lung using an external approach. In ICD-10-PCS, inspection means visually and/or manually exploring a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other nonoperative measurements and examinations, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (89.39).

For a different body part, codes include 0BJ0XZZ (tracheobronchial tree), 0BJ1XZZ (trachea), 0BJLXZZ (left lung), 0BJQXZZ (pleura) and 0BJTXZZ (diaphragm).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BJK0ZZ (open), 0BJK3ZZ (percutaneous), 0BJK4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0BJK7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0BJK8ZZ (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.
