About 0NWB0KZ

0NWB0KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the nasal bone using an open approach with nonautologous tissue substitute. 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 incision of nose, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (21.1).

For a different body part, codes include 0NW00KZ (skull) and 0NWW0KZ (facial bone).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0NWB3KZ (percutaneous), 0NWB4KZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0NWBXKZ (external).

With a different device, use 0NWB00Z (drainage device), 0NWB04Z (internal fixation device), 0NWB05Z (external fixation device), 0NWB07Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0NWB0JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0NWB0MZ (bone growth stimulator).

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.
