About 0JH70MZ

0JH70MZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, back using an open approach with stimulator generator. 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 implantation or replacement of carotid sinus stimulation pulse generator only, insertion of subcutaneous electrical anal stimulator, implantation of electronic ureteral stimulator and 2 more, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (39.83, 49.92, 56.92 and 2 more).

For a different body part, codes include 0JH60MZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, chest) and 0JH80MZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, abdomen).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JH73MZ (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 0JH70BZ (stimulator generator, single array), 0JH70CZ (stimulator generator, single array rechargeable), 0JH70DZ (stimulator generator, multiple array), 0JH70EZ (stimulator generator, multiple array rechargeable), 0JH70NZ (tissue expander), 0JH70VZ (infusion device, pump) and 1 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 252 (Other Vascular Procedures with MCC), DRG 253 (Other Vascular Procedures with CC) and DRG 254 (Other Vascular Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures” and “Other Vascular Procedures”.

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