ICD-10-PCS Code For Right Tracheobronchial Tree: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group BB07 includes procedures performed to image structures in the right tracheobronchial tree. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when planar radiographic imaging of the right tracheobronchial airways is performed to evaluate airway anatomy or pathology. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS BB07 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Tracheobronchial Tree, Right Plain Radiography Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes plain radiography imaging of the right tracheobronchial tree, a component of the respiratory system, obtained using external ionizing radiation and photographic or photoconductive capture. These procedures produce planar images that help evaluate airway anatomy and pathology of the right tracheobronchial tree. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these imaging procedures ensures inpatient records reflect the specific site and imaging modality, which supports appropriate case mix classification and reimbursement.

BB07YZZ	Plain Radiography of Right Tracheobronchial Tree using Other Contrast

Typical Clinical Scenarios

Adult patient admitted through the emergency department with acute onset severe shortness of breath and stridor after suspected aspiration; chest exam and airway assessment raise concern for right mainstem bronchial obstruction or foreign body. Inpatient plain radiography of the right tracheobronchial tree is obtained to rapidly evaluate airway patency and identify radiopaque foreign material or airway narrowing. Typical codes: BB07YZZ
Elderly inpatient with chronic cough and progressive wheeze admitted from clinic for evaluation of suspected right-sided endobronchial tumor seen on CT; radiology performs planar radiography focused on the right tracheobronchial tree to complement cross-sectional imaging and document baseline radiographic airway anatomy before bronchoscopy. Typical codes: BB07YZZ
Postoperative patient in the hospital following thoracic surgery who develops new focal right-sided airway symptoms and concern for postoperative atelectasis or mucus plugging in the right bronchi; a bedside plain radiograph targeted to the right tracheobronchial tree is performed to assess airway clearance and guide respiratory therapy. Typical codes: BB07YZZ
