About 0NHR35Z

0NHR35Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the maxilla using a percutaneous approach with external fixation device. In ICD-10-PCS, insertion means putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of 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 0NH035Z (skull), 0NHT35Z (right mandible) and 0NHV35Z (left mandible).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0NHR05Z (open) and 0NHR45Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0NHR34Z (internal fixation device).

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.
