About 0H0U3KZ

0H0U3KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a alteration procedure on the left breast using a percutaneous approach with nonautologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, alteration means modifying the anatomic structure of a body part without affecting the function of the body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to unilateral breast implant, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (85.53).

For a different body part, codes include 0H0T3KZ (right breast) and 0H0V3KZ (bilateral breast).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0H0U0KZ (open).

With a different device, use 0H0U37Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0H0U3JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0H0U3ZZ (no 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) and DRG 585 (Breast Biopsy, Local Excision and Other Breast Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Breast Biopsy, Local Excision and Other Breast Procedures”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
