About 0HXAXZZ
0HXAXZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a transfer procedure on the skin, inguinal using an external approach. In ICD-10-PCS, transfer means moving, without taking out, all or a portion of a body part to another location to take over the function of all or a portion of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to advancement of pedicle graft and attachment of pedicle or flap graft to other sites, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (86.72 and 86.74).
For a different body part, codes include 0HX0XZZ (skin, scalp), 0HX1XZZ (skin, face), 0HX2XZZ (skin, right ear), 0HX3XZZ (skin, left ear), 0HX4XZZ (skin, neck), 0HX5XZZ (skin, chest) and 16 more.
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 040 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with MCC), DRG 041 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with CC or Peripheral Neurostimulator), DRG 042 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 361 (Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 362 (Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures without MCC) and DRG 356 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with MCC), under the surgical categories “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures”, “Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures”, “Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures” and 7 more.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
