The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0HTT includes procedures performed to resect tissue in the breast, right. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when surgical removal of all or part of the right breast is performed via an open approach for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0HTT group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and determines appropriate case mix and payment.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A 62-year-old woman with a biopsy-proven invasive ductal carcinoma of the right breast undergoes a planned inpatient open resection to remove the tumor with clear margins when breast-conserving options are not feasible due to tumor size and location. The operation removes the targeted breast tissue for definitive oncologic management and pathologic staging. Postoperative inpatient observation is required for pain control and wound monitoring. Typical codes: 0HTT0ZZ
A 38-year-old woman presents emergently with a large, rapidly expanding right breast abscess and overlying skin necrosis despite prior drainage attempts. In the operating room she requires open surgical resection of the affected right breast tissue to control infection and remove devitalized tissue. The patient is admitted for postoperative intravenous antibiotics and close wound care. Typical codes: 0HTT0ZZ
A 55-year-old woman with prior partial right breast surgery develops recurrent tumor in the same breast with multifocal disease not amenable to additional local excision. An inpatient open resection is performed to remove the remainder of the right breast tissue for oncologic control and to obtain comprehensive pathology. She is monitored postoperatively for complications and adjuvant therapy planning. Typical codes: 0HTT0ZZ
