About 0JHW3YZ

0JHW3YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, lower extremity using a percutaneous 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 0JH63YZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, chest), 0JH73YZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, back), 0JH83YZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, abdomen), 0JHS3YZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, head and neck), 0JHT3YZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, trunk) and 0JHV3YZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, upper extremity).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JHW0YZ (open).

With a different device, use 0JHW31Z (radioactive element) and 0JHW33Z (infusion device).

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

It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
