About 0HRT0JZ
0HRT0JZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a replacement procedure on the right breast using an open approach with synthetic substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, replacement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically takes the place and/or function of all or a portion of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to unilateral subcutaneous mammectomy with synchronous implant, unilateral breast implant, total reconstruction of breast, not otherwise specified and 1 more, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (85.33, 85.53, 85.70 and 1 more).
For a different body part, codes include 0HRU0JZ (left breast), 0HRV0JZ (bilateral breast), 0HRW0JZ (right nipple) and 0HRX0JZ (left nipple).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0HRT3JZ (percutaneous).
With a different device, use 0HRT07Z (autologous tissue substitute) and 0HRT0KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).
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 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC) and DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC), under the surgical categories “Mastectomy for Malignancy”, “Breast Biopsy, Local Excision and Other Breast Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
