About the 0HC Code Range

These procedures remove solid matter from skin, fingernails, toenails, breasts or nipples. The matter can be a foreign body or an abnormal byproduct of a body function.

The fourth character identifies the body part, distinguishing skin sites, finger and toe nails, and right, left or both breasts. The fifth describes the approach: open, through a puncture or small incision, through a natural or artificial opening with or without a scope, or external. The sixth character is No Device, and the seventh is No Qualifier.
