About ICD-9-CM 33.78

33.78 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for endoscopic removal of bronchial device(s) or substances. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-PCS took over.

The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 2 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0WPQ83Z (Removal of Infusion Device from Respiratory Tract, Via Natural or Artificial Opening Endoscopic) and 0WPQ8YZ (Removal of Other Device from Respiratory Tract, Via Natural or Artificial Opening Endoscopic). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
