0JHM3WZInsertion of Totally Implantable Vascular Access Device into Left Upper Leg Subcutaneous Tissue and Fascia, Percutaneous Approach

0JHM3WZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, left upper leg using a percutaneous approach with vascular access device, totally implantable. 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 totally implantable vascular access device [VAD], the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (86.07).

For a different body part, codes include 0JH63WZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, chest), 0JH83WZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, abdomen), 0JHD3WZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, right upper arm), 0JHF3WZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, left upper arm), 0JHG3WZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, right lower arm), 0JHH3WZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, left lower arm) and 3 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JHM0WZ (open).

With a different device, use 0JHM3HZ (contraceptive device), 0JHM3NZ (tissue expander), 0JHM3VZ (infusion device, pump) and 0JHM3XZ (vascular access device, tunneled).

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.
