ICD-10-PCS Code For Breast, Bilateral: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0H0V includes procedures performed to alter anatomic structures in the breast, bilateral. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when bilateral breast anatomic modification is performed without affecting breast function. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0H0V group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Breast Alteration Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve altering the anatomic structure of both breasts without changing their physiological function. These procedures target the skin and breast body system and include operations that modify breast tissue for cosmetic or reconstructive reasons. Accurate coding of these alterations in the inpatient setting supports correct case mix assignment and reimbursement and ensures clinical records reflect the care provided.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when an inpatient procedure alters the anatomic structure of both breasts but does not change their physiological function. Typical clinical circumstances include bilateral cosmetic or reconstructive contouring performed during the same operative episode.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A 45-year-old patient with bilateral breast ptosis elects to undergo an inpatient cosmetic mastopexy with reshaping of both breasts using the patient’s own tissue for contour support. The operation is planned and performed via an open surgical approach to excise excess skin and reshape the breasts while preserving function. Coding captures bilateral anatomic alteration using autologous tissue substitute via open approach. Typical codes: 0H0V07Z
A 62-year-old patient presents after bilateral mastectomy with immediate reconstruction using prosthetic implants placed through an open approach to restore breast contour; the procedure alters the anatomic structure of both breasts without changing remaining physiologic function. The inpatient operation involves placement of synthetic material for bilateral contour reconstruction during the same admission. Coding should reflect bilateral alteration with a synthetic substitute performed open. Typical codes: 0H0V0JZ
A 53-year-old patient with prior bilateral implant reconstruction develops capsular contracture requiring percutaneous revision of both breasts, where nonautologous tissue materials are adjusted or introduced percutaneously to correct contour deformity without altering breast function. The procedure is performed to modify the anatomic structure of both breasts via a minimally invasive percutaneous approach during the inpatient encounter. Coding should indicate bilateral alteration with a nonautologous tissue substitute via percutaneous approach. Typical codes: 0H0V3KZ
