About 0NWBXMZ

0NWBXMZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the nasal bone using an external approach with bone growth stimulator. In ICD-10-PCS, revision means correcting, to the extent possible, a portion of a malfunctioning device or the position of a displaced device.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other miscellaneous procedures, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (99.99).

For a different body part, codes include 0NW0XMZ (skull) and 0NWWXMZ (facial bone).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0NWB0MZ (open), 0NWB3MZ (percutaneous) and 0NWB4MZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0NWBX0Z (drainage device), 0NWBX4Z (internal fixation device), 0NWBX5Z (external fixation device), 0NWBX7Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0NWBXJZ (synthetic substitute) and 0NWBXKZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

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.
