About 0NRC07Z

0NRC07Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a replacement procedure on the sphenoid bone using an open approach with autologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, replacement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically takes the place and/or function of all or a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to bone graft to facial bone, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (76.91).

For a different body part, codes include 0NR007Z (skull), 0NR107Z (frontal bone), 0NR307Z (right parietal bone), 0NR407Z (left parietal bone), 0NR507Z (right temporal bone), 0NR607Z (left temporal bone) and 16 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0NRC37Z (percutaneous) and 0NRC47Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0NRC0JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0NRC0KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

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.
