In ICD-9-CM, the Alphabetic Index main term entry is Augmentation, breast which provides a cross reference note to see Mammoplasty, augmentation. At this index entry additional subterms—with, breast implant—are identified. This entry directs users to code 85.54, Bilateral breast implant. There is not an index entry for Augmentation in ICD-10-PCS.
0H0V0ZZ is a valid billable ICD-10 procedure code for Alteration of Bilateral Breast, Open Approach . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (PCS) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .
In ICD-9-CM, the Alphabetic Index main term entry is Augmentation, breast which provides a cross reference note to see Mammoplasty, augmentation. At this index entry additional subterms—with, breast implant—are identified.
Bilateral Breast Augmentation is one of the most sought after and performed plastic surgeries. Whether it be to enhance or to restore fullness to the breasts, BBA, commonly known as “breast aug” or “boob job”, can help improve the overall appearance of the breasts. It can also help correct asymmetry, shape and size.
Alteration-Root Operation 0 Alteration is defined as modifying the natural anatomic structure of a body part without affecting the function of the body part. The principal purpose is to improve appearance. Alteration is coded for all procedures performed solely to improve appearance.
Nonautologous Tissue Substitute (K)—bone is harvested by a tissue bank from a cadaver. Synthetic Substitute (J)—examples include demineralized bone matrix, synthetic bone graft extenders, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP)
The root operation is the third character in the PCS code and describes the intent or the objective of the procedure. The majority of PCS codes reported for the inpatient setting are found in the Medical and Surgical section of ICD-10-PCS.
An open approach is defined as cutting through the skin or mucous membrane and any other body layers necessary to expose the site of the procedure.
The 31 root operations are arranged into the following groupings:Root operations that take out some/all of a body part.Root operations that take out solids/fluids/gasses from a body part.Root operations involving cutting or separation only.Root operations that put in/put back or move some/all of a body part.More items...
0H0V0JZThe complete code for this scenario is 0H0V0JZ. The body part value is bilateral breast (V), approach value open (0), and the device value is synthetic substitute (J) for the silicone implants.
ICD-10-PCS will be the official system of assigning codes to procedures associated with hospital utilization in the United States. ICD-10-PCS codes will support data collection, payment and electronic health records. ICD-10-PCS is a medical classification coding system for procedural codes.
Autologous Tissue Substitute (7)- bone graft obtained from the patient during the procedure. Bone grafts may be harvested locally using the same incision, or from another part of the body requiring a separate incision.
ICD-10-PCS has a seven character alphanumeric code structure. Each character contains up to 34 possible values. Each value represents a specific option for the general character definition (e.g., stomach is one of the values for the body part character).

The 3rd character in the Medical and Surgical Section ICD-10-PCS code is the root operation. This value describes the objective of the procedure.
The following crosswalk between ICD-10-PCS to ICD-9-PCS is based based on the General Equivalence Mappings (GEMS) information:
The ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) is a catalog of procedural codes used by medical professionals for hospital inpatient healthcare settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
The definition for the Fusion root operation provided in the 2014 ICD-10-PCS Reference Manual is “Joining together portions of an articular body part rendering the articular body part immobile.” Fusion procedures are only performed on the joints, not the bones or vertebra.
The body part coded for a spinal vertebral joint (s) rendered immobile by a spinal fusion procedure is classified by the level of the spine (i.e., thoracic). There are distinct body part values for a single vertebral joint and for multiple vertebral joints at each spinal level.
The following is an example of how ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-PCS compare in code assignment for Fusion procedures.
The definition for the root operation Alteration in the 2014 ICD-10-PCS Reference Manual is “Modifying the natural anatomic structure of a body part without affecting the function of the body part.” Alteration is only to be used for all procedures—including all methods, approaches, and devices used—performed only to change appearance.
The following is an example of how ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-PCS compare in code assignment for an Alteration procedure.
The definition for the root operation Creation in the 2014 ICD-10-PCS Reference Manual is, “Making a new genital structure that does not physically take the place of a body part.” Creation is used for procedures representing sex change operations. Creation procedures are captured in the general anatomical regions body system, Table 0W4.
The following is an example of how ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-PCS compare in code assignment for a Creation procedure.
