About 0HBV0ZX

0HBV0ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the bilateral breast using an open approach (qualifier: diagnostic). In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to open biopsy of breast, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (85.12).

For a different body part, codes include 0HBT0ZX (right breast), 0HBU0ZX (left breast), 0HBW0ZX (right nipple), 0HBX0ZX (left nipple) and 0HBY0ZX (supernumerary breast).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0HBV3ZX (percutaneous), 0HBV7ZX (via natural or artificial opening) and 0HBV8ZX (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for 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 628 (Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures with MCC or Insertion of Antibiotic-eluting Bone Void Filler), DRG 629 (Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 630 (Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC) and DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), under the surgical categories “Breast Biopsy, Local Excision and Other Breast Procedures”, “Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
