ICD-10-PCS Code For Lungs, Bilateral: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0BYM includes procedures performed to transplant donor lung tissue in the respiratory system. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a patient receives bilateral lung transplantation to replace nonfunctional native lungs. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0BYM group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures procedure performed and determines appropriate case mix and payment.

Lungs, Bilateral Transplantation Procedure Overview

This group includes procedures that transplant bilateral lungs into a recipient, replacing diseased or failing pulmonary tissue. These procedures target the respiratory system and involve implantation of donor lung tissue to restore gas exchange and respiratory function. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding is important for inpatient reimbursement because it captures the complexity of the transplantation and supports appropriate case mix and payment.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A 58-year-old patient with end-stage idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and progressive hypoxemic respiratory failure who has completed pre-transplant evaluation is admitted electively for bilateral lung transplantation using cadaveric donor lungs. The planned operation replaces both native lungs to restore gas exchange and improve long-term survival. An open surgical approach is used to implant the allogeneic donor lungs during the scheduled inpatient transplant procedure. Typical codes: 0BYM0Z0
A 45-year-old patient with rapidly progressive cystic fibrosis presents with worsening respiratory failure and refractory hypercapnia despite maximal medical therapy; after urgent listing and donor availability, the patient is taken to the operating room for bilateral lung transplantation to replace the nonfunctional lungs. The transplant is performed via an open approach using lungs from an identical twin donor to minimize immunologic mismatch. The procedure is documented as a syngeneic bilateral lung implantation. Typical codes: 0BYM0Z1
A 62-year-old patient with severe emphysema and prior failed single-lung transplant develops progressive bilateral graft failure and is admitted for re-transplantation of both lungs. The surgical team performs an open bilateral lung transplant using animal-derived donor tissue components available through a regulated xenograft program to replace the failed grafts and restore respiratory function. The inpatient procedure is coded to reflect transplantation of bilateral lungs using zooplastic donor tissue. Typical codes: 0BYM0Z2
