About 0HBT3ZZ
0HBT3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the right breast using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to local excision of lesion of breast, resection of quadrant of breast and subtotal mastectomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (85.21, 85.22 and 85.23).
For a different body part, codes include 0HBU3ZZ (left breast), 0HBV3ZZ (bilateral breast), 0HBW3ZZ (right nipple), 0HBX3ZZ (left nipple) and 0HBY3ZZ (supernumerary breast).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0HBT0ZZ (open), 0HBT7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0HBT8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 582 (Mastectomy for Malignancy with CC/MCC), DRG 583 (Mastectomy for Malignancy without CC/MCC), DRG 584 (Breast Biopsy, Local Excision and Other Breast Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 585 (Breast Biopsy, Local Excision and Other Breast Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 619 (O.R. Procedures for Obesity with MCC) and DRG 620 (O.R. Procedures for Obesity with CC), under the surgical categories “Mastectomy for Malignancy”, “Breast Biopsy, Local Excision and Other Breast Procedures”, “O.R. Procedures for Obesity” and 2 more.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
