About 0HPT8NZ

0HPT8NZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the right breast using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach with tissue expander. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to Mastotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (85.0).

For a different body part, codes include 0HPU8NZ (left breast).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0HPT0NZ (open), 0HPT3NZ (percutaneous) and 0HPT7NZ (via natural or artificial opening).

With a different device, use 0HPT80Z (drainage device), 0HPT81Z (radioactive element), 0HPT87Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0HPT8JZ (synthetic substitute), 0HPT8KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 0HPT8YZ (other device).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

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