About 0N8G4ZZ
0N8G4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a division procedure on the left ethmoid bone 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 other incision of facial bone, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (76.09).
For a different body part, codes include 0N804ZZ (skull), 0N814ZZ (frontal bone), 0N834ZZ (right parietal bone), 0N844ZZ (left parietal bone), 0N854ZZ (right temporal bone), 0N864ZZ (left temporal bone) and 16 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0N8G0ZZ (open) and 0N8G3ZZ (percutaneous).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for 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 category “Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
