About 0NB33ZZ

0NB33ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the right parietal bone using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other craniectomy and excision of lesion of skull, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (01.25 and 01.6).

For a different body part, codes include 0NB03ZZ (skull), 0NB13ZZ (frontal bone), 0NB43ZZ (left parietal bone), 0NB53ZZ (right temporal bone), 0NB63ZZ (left temporal bone), 0NB73ZZ (occipital bone) and 16 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0NB30ZZ (open) and 0NB34ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 023 (Craniotomy with Major Device Implant or Acute Complex CNS Principal Diagnosis with MCC or Antineoplastic Implant or Epilepsy with Neurostimulator), DRG 024 (Craniotomy with Major Device Implant or Acute Complex CNS Principal Diagnosis without MCC), DRG 025 (Craniotomy and Endovascular Intracranial Procedures with MCC), DRG 026 (Craniotomy and Endovascular Intracranial Procedures with CC), DRG 027 (Craniotomy and Endovascular Intracranial Procedures without CC/MCC) and DRG 143 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with MCC), under the surgical categories “Craniotomy with Major Device Implant or Acute Complex CNS Principal Diagnosis”, “Craniotomy and endovascular intracranial procedures”, “Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R.
