Answer: Initial therapeutic bronchoscopy is the first procedure during any hospitalization and is reported with CPT code 31645. A subsequent therapeutic bronchoscopy, later the same day or another day, but during the same hospitalization, is defined as subsequent and is reported with CPT code 31646.
DrainageBronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL): Bronchoalveolar lavage is also called a liquid biopsy and is a diagnostic procedure performed via a bronchoscope and it involves washing out tissue of the lung and airways to obtain a small sampling of tissue. BAL is coded to root operation “Drainage” because it involves removing fluid.

CPT® Code 31622 in section: Bronchoscopy, rigid or flexible, including fluoroscopic guidance, when performed.
31624CPT guidance indicates it is acceptable to report CPT code 31624, Bronchoscopy with bronchial alveolar lavage, with a bilateral modifier when this procedure is performed bilaterally.
ICD-10 code Y84. 4 for Aspiration of fluid as the cause of abnormal reaction of the patient, or of later complication, without mention of misadventure at the time of the procedure is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Complications of medical and surgical care .
ICD-10-PCS 0BJ14ZZ converts approximately to: 2015 ICD-9-CM Procedure 31.42 Laryngoscopy and other tracheoscopy.
ICD-10-PCS will be the official system of assigning codes to procedures associated with hospital utilization in the United States. ICD-10-PCS codes will support data collection, payment and electronic health records. ICD-10-PCS is a medical classification coding system for procedural codes.
Biopsy followed by more definitive treatment B3. 4b If a diagnostic Excision, Extraction, or Drainage procedure (biopsy) is followed by a more definitive procedure, such as Destruction, Excision or Resection at the same procedure site, both the biopsy and the more definitive treatment are coded.
Other nonspecific abnormal finding of lung fieldICD-10 code R91. 8 for Other nonspecific abnormal finding of lung field is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
Benign carcinoid tumor of the bronchus and lung D3A. 090 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM D3A. 090 became effective on October 1, 2021.
The bronchoscopy is coded in addition to the thoracoscopic lobectomy based on the following PCS coding guideline, B3.11c:
Assign J470 for bronchiectasis. It is unlikely this patient would have been taken to surgery with current pneumonia and more likely that the physician is indicating a history of recurrent pneumonia. We recommend a review of the entire record to determine pneumonia status and/or query the physician before final coding of the pneumonia diagnosis.
A bronchoscopy is a procedure to aid in the evaluation and treatment of lung patients. Most often, the physician uses a fiberoptic scope and performs the procedure in the endoscopy suite of the hospital. Other locations include an office setting or perhaps at the patient’s hospital bedside. Completed for a variety of reasons, only 21 CPT® codes ...
The 2007 CPT® codebook lists 31620 (EBUS) as “Endobronchial ultrasound during bronchoscopic diagnostic or therapeutic intervention (s).” This procedure, which involves a special bronchoscope that has an ultrasound at its tip, is the newest technology for biopsying mediastinal nodes. EBUS allows the physician better visualization of the structures and provides a different level of guidance for bronchoscopic procedures. This equipment allows the physician to perform a minimally invasive procedure in lieu of a mediasteinoscopy (an open surgical procedure) that has more risks involved for the patient.#N#Code 31620 is an add-on code that is listed in addition to the primary procedure code. When looking at the CPT® codebook for this endoscopy section of the respiratory system, there are a plethora of notations that should aid you in your code selection. As is always the case, documentation is the first and most important part of your journey. Correct billing of bronchoscopies should be straightforward, and with the above questions answered, should be easier than ever.#N#Jill Young, CPC, is president of Young Medical Consulting LLC in East Lansing, MI.

The code should be reported only once because “looking” down both of the mainstem bronchi is innately part of the procedure. The anatomy of the lungs is such that the physician travels down the trachea toward the opening branches to each of the lungs via the bronchial openings, and looks into both of these airways in his or her inspection ...
A diagnostic bronchoscopy is inherently bilateral. Most patients have two lungs and the pulmonologist would evaluate both during this procedure. This answers the first of the frequently asked questions on how to bill when the physician examines both bronchi.
