About 0HWU0JZ

0HWU0JZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the left breast using an open approach with synthetic substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, revision means correcting, to the extent possible, a portion of a malfunctioning device or the position of a displaced device.

In plain terms, this corresponds to revision of implant of breast, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (85.93).

For a different body part, codes include 0HWT0JZ (right breast).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0HWU3JZ (percutaneous), 0HWU7JZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0HWU8JZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0HWU00Z (drainage device), 0HWU07Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0HWU0KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute), 0HWU0NZ (tissue expander) and 0HWU0YZ (other device).

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.
