About 0NPB0KZ

0NPB0KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the nasal bone using an open approach with nonautologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device 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 0NP00KZ (skull) and 0NPW0KZ (facial bone).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0NPB3KZ (percutaneous) and 0NPB4KZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0NPB00Z (drainage device), 0NPB04Z (internal fixation device), 0NPB05Z (external fixation device), 0NPB07Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0NPB0JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0NPB0MZ (bone growth stimulator).

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.
