re Bronchial Procedure
There was recently quite a bit of discussion around how to assign a code for Bronchial Removal of Plugs in a patient w/ PNA, and the concern was the PCS code drove us to a Surgical DRG.
I coded this as: 0BC68ZZ
"Extirpation matter, RLL Lung, Via Natural Opening, No Device, No Qualifier".
This will not impact the DRG and may be a code you wish to consider.
