ICD-10-PCS 0H8 Medical and Surgical: Skin and Breast Division

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Division (0H8) refers to cutting into a body part without removing or detaching it, usually to separate or split it. In the Medical and Surgical section, this operation is applied specifically to the Skin and Breast body system.

Division procedures involve separating parts of the skin at various anatomical sites using an External Approach, which means the incision is made directly through the skin. The included codes showcase this operation on many different areas such as the Scalp (0H80XZZ), Face (0H81XZZ), Neck (0H84XZZ), and multiple limbs including the Right Upper Arm (0H8BXZZ) and Left Foot (0H8NXZZ). These entries highlight the system’s precision in documenting where the division is performed on the skin. Proper coding of these skin and breast division procedures is essential for clear clinical records and reimbursement.
