0JHW0YZInsertion of Other Device into Lower Extremity Subcutaneous Tissue and Fascia, Open Approach

0JHW0YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, lower extremity using an open approach with other 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 other incision of skin and subcutaneous tissue, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (86.09).

For a different body part, codes include 0JH60YZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, chest), 0JH70YZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, back), 0JH80YZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, abdomen), 0JHS0YZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, head and neck), 0JHT0YZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, trunk) and 0JHV0YZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, upper extremity).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JHW3YZ (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 0JHW01Z (radioactive element) and 0JHW03Z (infusion 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”.
