0JHC0NZInsertion of Tissue Expander into Pelvic Region Subcutaneous Tissue and Fascia, Open Approach

0JHC0NZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, pelvic region 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), 0JH60NZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, chest), 0JH70NZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, back) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JHC3NZ (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 361 (Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 362 (Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures without MCC) and DRG 463 (Wound Debridement or Skin Graft Except Hand for Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Disorders with MCC or Insertion of Antibiotic-eluting Bone Void Filler), under the surgical categories “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures”, “Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures”, “Wound Debridement or Skin Graft Except Hand for Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Disorders” and 6 more.

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