About 0J563ZZ

0J563ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, chest using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, destruction means physical eradication of all or a portion of a body part by the direct use of energy, force, or a destructive agent.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other local excision or destruction of lesion or tissue of skin and subcutaneous tissue, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (86.3).

For a different body part, codes include 0J503ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, scalp), 0J513ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, face), 0J543ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, right neck), 0J553ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, left neck), 0J573ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, back), 0J583ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, abdomen) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0J560ZZ (open).

It is a non-O.R. procedure that is part of the MS-DRG logic for DRG 579 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with MCC), DRG 580 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with CC) and DRG 581 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
