About the 0HN Code Range

These procedures free skin, breast tissue, nipples, or nails from an abnormal physical restriction by cutting or applying force. Some restraining tissue may be removed, but none of the body part being freed is removed.

The fourth character identifies the site, including skin regions, finger and toe nails, breasts, and nipples. It distinguishes right and left where listed, as well as both breasts. The fifth character describes the approach: open, through a puncture or small incision, through an opening with or without a scope, or external. The sixth character is No Device, and the seventh is No Qualifier.
