About 0NBT0ZZ
0NBT0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the right mandible using an open 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 excision of dental lesion of jaw and partial mandibulectomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (24.4 and 76.31).
For a different body part, codes include 0NB00ZZ (skull), 0NB10ZZ (frontal bone), 0NB30ZZ (right parietal bone), 0NB40ZZ (left parietal bone), 0NB50ZZ (right temporal bone), 0NB60ZZ (left temporal bone) and 16 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0NBT3ZZ (percutaneous) and 0NBT4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 140 (Major Head and Neck Procedures with MCC), DRG 141 (Major Head and Neck Procedures with CC), DRG 142 (Major Head and Neck Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 515 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 516 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 517 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Major Head and Neck Procedures”, “Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
