About 0HUX77Z
0HUX77Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a supplement procedure on the left nipple using a via natural or artificial opening 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 0HUT77Z (right breast), 0HUU77Z (left breast), 0HUV77Z (bilateral breast) and 0HUW77Z (right nipple).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0HUX07Z (open), 0HUX37Z (percutaneous), 0HUX87Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0HUXX7Z (external).
With a different device, use 0HUX7JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0HUX7KZ (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.
