About 0HBV3ZX
0HBV3ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the bilateral breast using a percutaneous 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 closed [percutaneous] [needle] biopsy of breast, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (85.11).
For a different body part, codes include 0HBT3ZX (right breast), 0HBU3ZX (left breast), 0HBW3ZX (right nipple), 0HBX3ZX (left nipple) and 0HBY3ZX (supernumerary breast).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0HBV0ZX (open), 0HBV7ZX (via natural or artificial opening) and 0HBV8ZX (via natural or artificial opening 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.
