About 0JH60NZ

0JH60NZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, chest using an open approach with tissue expander. 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 insertion of tissue expander, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (86.93).

For a different body part, codes include 0JH00NZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, scalp), 0JH10NZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, face), 0JH40NZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, right neck), 0JH50NZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, left neck), 0JH70NZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, back), 0JH80NZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, abdomen) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JH63NZ (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 0JH600Z (monitoring device, hemodynamic), 0JH602Z (monitoring device), 0JH604Z (pacemaker, single chamber), 0JH605Z (pacemaker, single chamber rate responsive), 0JH606Z (pacemaker, dual chamber), 0JH607Z (cardiac resynchronization pacemaker pulse 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 361 (Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 362 (Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures without MCC) and DRG 356 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with MCC), under the surgical categories “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures”, “Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures”, “Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures” and 7 more.

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