About 0BN60ZZ

0BN60ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a release procedure on the right lower lobe bronchus using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, release means freeing a body part from an abnormal physical constraint by cutting or by the use of force.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other repair and plastic operations on bronchus, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (33.48).

For a different body part, codes include 0BN10ZZ (trachea), 0BN20ZZ (carina), 0BN30ZZ (right main bronchus), 0BN40ZZ (right upper lobe bronchus), 0BN50ZZ (right middle lobe bronchus), 0BN70ZZ (left main bronchus) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BN63ZZ (percutaneous), 0BN64ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0BN67ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0BN68ZZ (via natural or artificial opening 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) and DRG 165 (Major Chest Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Major Chest Procedures”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
