About 0N9B40Z
0N9B40Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the nasal bone using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with drainage device. In ICD-10-PCS, drainage means taking or letting out fluids and/or gases from a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to incision of nose, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (21.1).
For a different body part, codes include 0N9040Z (skull), 0N9140Z (frontal bone), 0N9340Z (right parietal bone), 0N9440Z (left parietal bone), 0N9540Z (right temporal bone), 0N9640Z (left temporal bone) and 16 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0N9B00Z (open) and 0N9B30Z (percutaneous).
With a different device, use 0N9B4ZZ (no device).
It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
