About 0HSWXZZ

0HSWXZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a reposition procedure on the right nipple using an external approach. In ICD-10-PCS, reposition means moving to its normal location, or other suitable location, all or a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to transposition of nipple, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (85.86).

For a different body part, codes include 0HSSXZZ (hair) and 0HSXXZZ (left nipple).

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.
