About 0JB43ZZ

0JB43ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, right neck 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), 0JB13ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, face), 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 0JB40ZZ (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.
