About 0JHH3HZ

0JHH3HZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, left lower arm using a percutaneous approach with contraceptive 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 injection of steroid, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (99.23).

For a different body part, codes include 0JH63HZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, chest), 0JH83HZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, abdomen), 0JHD3HZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, right upper arm), 0JHF3HZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, left upper arm), 0JHG3HZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, right lower arm), 0JHL3HZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, right upper leg) and 3 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JHH0HZ (open).

With a different device, use 0JHH3NZ (tissue expander), 0JHH3VZ (infusion device, pump), 0JHH3WZ (vascular access device, totally implantable) and 0JHH3XZ (vascular access device, tunneled).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

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