0JHG0XZInsertion of Tunneled Vascular Access Device into Right Lower Arm Subcutaneous Tissue and Fascia, Open Approach

0JHG0XZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, right lower arm using an open approach with vascular access device, tunneled. 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 venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified and insertion of totally implantable vascular access device [VAD], the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (38.93 and 86.07).

For a different body part, codes include 0JH60XZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, chest), 0JH80XZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, abdomen), 0JHD0XZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, right upper arm), 0JHF0XZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, left upper arm), 0JHH0XZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, left lower arm), 0JHL0XZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, right upper leg) and 3 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JHG3XZ (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 0JHG0HZ (contraceptive device), 0JHG0NZ (tissue expander), 0JHG0VZ (infusion device, pump) and 0JHG0WZ (vascular access device, totally implantable).

It is a non-O.R. procedure that is part of the MS-DRG logic for DRG 579 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with MCC), DRG 580 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with CC), DRG 581 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 673 (Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Procedures with MCC), DRG 674 (Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Procedures with CC) and DRG 675 (Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures” and “Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Procedures”.

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