About 0HRXX7Z

0HRXX7Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a replacement procedure on the left nipple using an external approach with autologous tissue 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 other repair or reconstruction of nipple, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (85.87).

For a different body part, codes include 0HRQX7Z (finger nail), 0HRRX7Z (toe nail), 0HRSX7Z (hair) and 0HRWX7Z (right nipple).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0HRX07Z (open) and 0HRX37Z (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 0HRXXJZ (synthetic substitute) and 0HRXXKZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

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.
