About 0NNB3ZZ

0NNB3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a release procedure on the nasal bone using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, release means freeing a body part from an abnormal physical constraint by cutting or by the use of force.

In plain terms, this corresponds to lysis of adhesions of nose, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (21.91).

For a different body part, codes include 0NN13ZZ (frontal bone), 0NN33ZZ (right parietal bone), 0NN43ZZ (left parietal bone), 0NN53ZZ (right temporal bone), 0NN63ZZ (left temporal bone), 0NN73ZZ (occipital bone) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0NNB0ZZ (open) and 0NNB4ZZ (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.
