About 0JPT31Z
0JPT31Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, trunk using a percutaneous approach with radioactive element. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to incision with removal of foreign body or device from skin and subcutaneous tissue, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (86.05).
For a different body part, codes include 0JPS31Z (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, head and neck), 0JPV31Z (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, upper extremity) and 0JPW31Z (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, lower extremity).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JPT01Z (open) and 0JPTX1Z (external).
With a different device, use 0JPT30Z (drainage device), 0JPT32Z (monitoring device), 0JPT33Z (infusion device), 0JPT37Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0JPT3FZ (subcutaneous defibrillator lead), 0JPT3HZ (contraceptive device) and 9 more.
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.
