About 0JPSX3Z

0JPSX3Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, head and neck using an external approach with infusion device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to removal of other therapeutic device from head and neck, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (97.39).

For a different body part, codes include 0JPTX3Z (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, trunk), 0JPVX3Z (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, upper extremity) and 0JPWX3Z (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, lower extremity).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JPS03Z (open) and 0JPS33Z (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 0JPSX0Z (drainage device) and 0JPSX1Z (radioactive element).

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.
