ICD-10-PCS 0HC Medical and Surgical: Skin and Breast Extirpation

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Extirpation (code starting with 0HC) refers to the removal of solid matter or a foreign body from a body part without removing the body part itself. In the Medical and Surgical section, this operation specifically applies to procedures involving the Skin and Breast body system.

This operation involves extracting abnormal material, such as cysts, lesions, or other matter, from various skin sites and breast tissue using different approaches. For example, the code 0HC0XZZ describes extirpation of matter from the Scalp Skin via an External Approach, while codes like 0HCT0ZZ and 0HCT3ZZ represent extirpation of matter from the Right Breast through Open and Percutaneous Approaches, respectively. There are also codes for removal from specific areas such as the Neck, Face, Right and Left Upper Arms, and Nipples, each identified by a precise code signifying the body part and approach used. These detailed ICD-10-PCS extirpation codes enable accurate reporting for surgical removal of pathological matter in the skin and breast, facilitating clear documentation and appropriate care management.
