About 0N9R3ZZ

0N9R3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the maxilla using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, drainage means taking or letting out fluids and/or gases from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to incision of gum or alveolar bone and other incision of facial bone, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (24.0 and 76.09).

For a different body part, codes include 0N903ZZ (skull), 0N913ZZ (frontal bone), 0N933ZZ (right parietal bone), 0N943ZZ (left parietal bone), 0N953ZZ (right temporal bone), 0N963ZZ (left temporal bone) and 16 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0N9R0ZZ (open) and 0N9R4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0N9R30Z (drainage 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.
