0JD70ZZExtraction of Back Subcutaneous Tissue and Fascia, Open Approach

0JD70ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extraction procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, back using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extraction means pulling or stripping out or off all or a portion of a body part by the use of force.

In plain terms, this corresponds to Fasciotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (83.14).

For a different body part, codes include 0JD00ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, scalp), 0JD10ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, face), 0JD40ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, right neck), 0JD50ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, left neck), 0JD60ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, chest), 0JD80ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, abdomen) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JD73ZZ (percutaneous).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 040 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with MCC), DRG 041 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with CC or Peripheral Neurostimulator), DRG 042 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 500 (Soft Tissue Procedures with MCC), DRG 501 (Soft Tissue Procedures with CC) and DRG 502 (Soft Tissue Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures”, “Soft Tissue Procedures”, “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures” and 2 more.

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