About X0HK3Q8

X0HK3Q8 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the sphenopalatine ganglion using a percutaneous approach with neurostimulator lead (qualifier: new technology group 8). 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.
