ICD-10-PCS 0H5 Medical and Surgical: Skin and Breast Destruction

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Destruction (code 0H5) involves the deliberate eradication of targeted tissue using methods such as laser, electrocautery, or cryotherapy. This procedure is performed to remove abnormal or diseased skin and breast tissue without removal of the tissue.

Within the Medical and Surgical section, Destruction applies primarily to the Skin and Breast body system. The codes specify the exact body part involved, such as the Scalp Skin (codes 0H50XZD, 0H50XZZ), Face Skin, Right and Left Ear Skin, and various regions like the Chest Skin, Back Skin, and Breast. The approach is typically External, but some codes detail open, percutaneous, or endoscopic approaches, especially in breast tissue destruction (e.g., 0H5T0Z3 for laser destruction of the right breast via open approach).

These ICD-10-PCS destruction codes facilitate precise documentation of therapeutic procedures aimed at targeted tissue eradication on the skin and breast, ensuring clarity in clinical and billing records for treatment of various lesions or conditions.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify 0H5 - Destruction (physical eradication of all or a portion of a body part by the direct use of energy, force or a destructive agent). There are a total of 77 procedure codes in this section.
