About 0JHT01Z

0JHT01Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, trunk using an open approach with radioactive element. 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 implantation or insertion of radioactive elements, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (92.27).

For a different body part, codes include 0JHS01Z (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, head and neck), 0JHV01Z (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, upper extremity) and 0JHW01Z (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, lower extremity).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JHT31Z (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 0JHT03Z (infusion device), 0JHT0VZ (infusion device, pump) and 0JHT0YZ (other device).

It is an operating-room procedure in 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 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.

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