About 0NPBXMZ

0NPBXMZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the nasal bone using an external approach with bone growth stimulator. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to removal of other therapeutic device from head and neck, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (97.39).

For a different body part, codes include 0NP0XMZ (skull) and 0NPWXMZ (facial bone).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0NPB0MZ (open), 0NPB3MZ (percutaneous) and 0NPB4MZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0NPBX0Z (drainage device), 0NPBX4Z (internal fixation device) and 0NPBX5Z (external fixation 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.
