About 0J9900Z

0J9900Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, buttock using an open approach with drainage device. In ICD-10-PCS, drainage means taking or letting out fluids and/or gases from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other incision with drainage of skin and subcutaneous tissue, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (86.04).

For a different body part, codes include 0J9000Z (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, scalp), 0J9100Z (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, face), 0J9400Z (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, right neck), 0J9500Z (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, left neck), 0J9600Z (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, chest), 0J9700Z (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, back) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0J9930Z (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 0J990ZZ (no device).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

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