About 0J9J0ZZ

0J9J0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, right hand using an open approach. 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 of soft tissue of hand and Fasciotomy of hand, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (82.09 and 82.12).

For a different body part, codes include 0J900ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, scalp), 0J910ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, face), 0J940ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, right neck), 0J950ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, left neck), 0J960ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, chest), 0J970ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, back) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0J9J3ZZ (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 0J9J00Z (drainage 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.
