About 0N8B0ZZ

0N8B0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a division procedure on the nasal bone using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, division means cutting into a body part, without draining fluids and/or gases from the body part, in order to separate or transect 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 0N800ZZ (skull), 0N810ZZ (frontal bone), 0N830ZZ (right parietal bone), 0N840ZZ (left parietal bone), 0N850ZZ (right temporal bone), 0N860ZZ (left temporal bone) and 16 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0N8B3ZZ (percutaneous) and 0N8B4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

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.
