About 0JHJ0NZ
0JHJ0NZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, right hand 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 0JHJ3NZ (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 513 (Hand or Wrist Procedures, Except Major Thumb or Joint Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 514 (Hand or Wrist Procedures, Except Major Thumb or Joint Procedures without CC/MCC) and DRG 573 (Skin Graft for Skin Ulcer or Cellulitis with MCC), under the surgical categories “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures”, “Hand or Wrist Procedures, Except Major Thumb or Joint Procedures”, “Skin Graft” and 5 more.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
