About 0JB13ZZ

0JB13ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, face using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to excision of lesion of other soft tissue and other fasciectomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (83.39 and 83.44).

For a different body part, codes include 0JB03ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, scalp), 0JB43ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, right neck), 0JB53ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, left neck), 0JB63ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, chest), 0JB73ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, back), 0JB83ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, abdomen) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JB10ZZ (open).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 143 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 144 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 145 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures”.

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