About 0HBV8ZX

0HBV8ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the bilateral breast using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic 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 0HBT8ZX (right breast), 0HBU8ZX (left breast), 0HBW8ZX (right nipple), 0HBX8ZX (left nipple) and 0HBY8ZX (supernumerary breast).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0HBV0ZX (open), 0HBV3ZX (percutaneous) and 0HBV7ZX (via natural or artificial opening).

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.
