About 0HUWX7Z

0HUWX7Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a supplement procedure on the right nipple using an external approach with autologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, supplement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically reinforces and/or augments the function of 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 0HUXX7Z (left nipple).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0HUW07Z (open), 0HUW37Z (percutaneous), 0HUW77Z (via natural or artificial opening) and 0HUW87Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0HUWXJZ (synthetic substitute) and 0HUWXKZ (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.
