About 0JCD3ZZ

0JCD3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, right upper arm using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to incision with removal of foreign body or device from skin and subcutaneous tissue, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (86.05).

For a different body part, codes include 0JC03ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, scalp), 0JC13ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, face), 0JC43ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, right neck), 0JC53ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, left neck), 0JC63ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, chest), 0JC73ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, back) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JCD0ZZ (open).

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.
