About 0HPU0JZ

0HPU0JZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the left breast using an open approach with synthetic substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to removal of implant of breast, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (85.94).

For a different body part, codes include 0HPT0JZ (right breast).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0HPU3JZ (percutaneous), 0HPU7JZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0HPU8JZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0HPU00Z (drainage device), 0HPU01Z (radioactive element), 0HPU07Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0HPU0KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute), 0HPU0NZ (tissue expander) and 0HPU0YZ (other device).

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 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC), DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC) and DRG 957 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with MCC), under the surgical categories “Breast Biopsy, Local Excision and Other Breast Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

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