About 0JH602Z
0JH602Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, chest using an open approach with monitoring device. In ICD-10-PCS, insertion means putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to revision or relocation of cardiac device pocket and other incision of skin and subcutaneous tissue, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (37.79 and 86.09).
For a different body part, codes include 0JH802Z (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, abdomen).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JH632Z (percutaneous).
With a different device, use 0JH600Z (monitoring device, hemodynamic), 0JH604Z (pacemaker, single chamber), 0JH605Z (pacemaker, single chamber rate responsive), 0JH606Z (pacemaker, dual chamber), 0JH607Z (cardiac resynchronization pacemaker pulse generator), 0JH608Z (defibrillator generator) and 15 more.
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 210 (Cardiac Pacemaker Revision or Device Replacement with MCC), DRG 211 (Cardiac Pacemaker Revision or Device Replacement without MCC) and DRG 579 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with MCC), under the surgical categories “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures”, “Cardiac Pacemaker Revision or Device Replacement”, “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures” and 2 more.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
