Right Nipple Reposition Procedure Overview
Procedures in the ICD-10 PCS 0HSW group involve repositioning all or a portion of the right nipple through an external approach and target the skin and breast body system. These operations move the nipple to its normal or a more suitable location without excision or replacement. Accurate coding of these procedures ensures the inpatient record reflects the correct root operation and anatomical site, which affects case mix assignment and reimbursement. Clear documentation of laterality and approach supports correct code selection.
