About 008F4ZZ
008F4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a division procedure on the olfactory nerve using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, division means cutting into a body part, without draining fluids and/or gases from the body part, in order to separate or transect a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to division or crushing of other cranial and peripheral nerves, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (04.03).
For a different body part, codes include 00804ZZ (brain), 00874ZZ (cerebral hemisphere), 00884ZZ (basal ganglia), 008G4ZZ (optic nerve), 008H4ZZ (oculomotor nerve), 008J4ZZ (trochlear nerve) and 11 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 008F0ZZ (open) and 008F3ZZ (percutaneous).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 040 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with MCC), DRG 041 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with CC or Peripheral Neurostimulator), DRG 042 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 143 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 144 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 145 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures”, “Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures”, “Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures” and 2 more.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
