About 0JJSXZZ

0JJSXZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a inspection procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, head and neck using an external approach. In ICD-10-PCS, inspection means visually and/or manually exploring a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other nonoperative measurements and examinations, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (89.39).

For a different body part, codes include 0JJTXZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, trunk), 0JJVXZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, upper extremity) and 0JJWXZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, lower extremity).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JJS0ZZ (open) and 0JJS3ZZ (percutaneous).

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

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