2019 ICD-10-PCS Procedure Code 0BB88ZX. Excision of Left Upper Lobe Bronchus, Via Natural or Artificial Opening Endoscopic, Diagnostic. ICD-10-PCS 0BB88ZX is a specific/billable code that can be used to indicate a procedure.
Notably, when CPT code 31629 bronchoscopy with transbronchial needle aspiration biopsy (s), trachea, main stem and/or lobar bronchus is appropriate to use with code 31652 with endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) guided transtracheal and/or transbronchial sampling (eg, aspiration [s]/biopsy [ies]), one or two mediastinal and/ or hilar lymph node ...

Example: If a patient has bronchoscopy with BAL for biopsy from the right middle lobe the appropriate PCS code is 0B9D8ZX—Drainage of right middle lung lobe, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic, diagnostic, is appropriate.

Background. Transbronchial lung biopsy (TBB) is a procedure performed during flexible bronchoscopy with the use of biopsy forceps. Usually, the purpose is to obtain samples of peripheral lung tissue in order to diagnose interstitial lung disease or to specify the character of a peripheral lung lesion.
Other nonspecific abnormal finding of lung field R91. 8 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 R91. 8 became effective on October 1, 2021.
CPT 31628 is used for bronchoscopy, rigid or flexible, including fluoroscopic guidance, with transbronchial lung biopsy(s), single lobe.
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.
A transbronchial biopsy is performed by a pulmonologist or lung specialist. The patient may be advised not to eat or drink for at least four hours prior to surgery. A local anesthesia gel and spray is used to numb the nose and throat. Local sedatives are used for the patient to relax during the procedure.
Your doctor can use it to see inside the airways of your lungs. Bronchoscopy can be combined with a transbronchial lung biopsy, which is a procedure used to collect pieces of lung tissue. A lung biopsy allows your doctor to test for many kinds of diseases, including infections, benign tumors and polyps, and cancer.
What Is EBUS Bronchoscopy? EBUS (endobronchial ultrasound) bronchoscopy is a procedure used to diagnose different types of lung disorders, including inflammation, infections or cancer. Performed by a pulmonologist, EBUS bronchoscopy uses a flexible tube that goes through your mouth and into your windpipe and lungs.
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 .
Lung Biopsy The code 32405, “Biopsy, lung or mediastinum, percutaneous needle,” has been replaced by new code 32408, “Core needle biopsy, lung or mediastinum, percutaneous, including imaging guidance, when performed.” Accordingly, imaging guidance may no longer be billed separately.
ICD-10 code Z51. 11 for Encounter for antineoplastic chemotherapy is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
CPT® Code 31622 in section: Bronchoscopy, rigid or flexible, including fluoroscopic guidance, when performed.
31625 – Bronchoscopy, rigid or flexible, with or without fluoroscopic guidance; with bronchial or endobronchial biopsy(s); single or multiple sites.
Lung Biopsy The code 32405, “Biopsy, lung or mediastinum, percutaneous needle,” has been replaced by new code 32408, “Core needle biopsy, lung or mediastinum, percutaneous, including imaging guidance, when performed.” Accordingly, imaging guidance may no longer be billed separately.

Assign the code for an endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) guided transbronchial biopsy of an intrathoracic lymph node.
A melanoma is widely excised to the depth of the subcutaneous tissue and fascia of the right upper leg.
There has been some confusion about appropriate coding using the new endobronchial ultrasound codes with some of the other bronchoscopy codes. Notably, when CPT code 31629 bronchoscopy with transbronchial needle aspiration biopsy (s), trachea, main stem and/or lobar bronchus is appropriate to use with code 31652 with endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) guided transtracheal and/or transbronchial sampling (eg, aspiration [s]/biopsy [ies]), one or two mediastinal and/ or hilar lymph node stations or structures and 31654 code with endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) guided transtracheal and/or transbronchial sampling (eg, aspiration [s]/biopsy [ies]), 3 or more mediastinal and/ or hilar lymph node stations or structures. Both 31652 and 31653 include needle sampling as a part of the work and therefore, if the bronchoscopy involves only the sampling of the hilar/mediastinal node, it would be inappropriate to include 31629.
If a bronchoscopy is performed with needle aspiration biopsy (ies) of a peripheral lesion and subsequently an EBUS scope is used to sample mediastinal or hilar lymph node stations, one could utilize 31629 as well as either 31652 or 31653.
