About 0BP18KZ

0BP18KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the trachea using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach with nonautologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other incision of larynx or trachea, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (31.3).

For a different body part, codes include 0BP08KZ (tracheobronchial tree) and 0BPT8KZ (diaphragm).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BP10KZ (open), 0BP13KZ (percutaneous), 0BP14KZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0BP17KZ (via natural or artificial opening).

With a different device, use 0BP180Z (drainage device), 0BP182Z (monitoring device), 0BP187Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0BP18CZ (extraluminal device), 0BP18DZ (intraluminal device), 0BP18FZ (tracheostomy device) and 1 more.

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 166 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 167 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 168 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures”.

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