About 0JPW3JZ
0JPW3JZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, lower extremity using a percutaneous approach with synthetic substitute. 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 0JPS3JZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, head and neck), 0JPT3JZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, trunk) and 0JPV3JZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, upper extremity).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JPW0JZ (open).
With a different device, use 0JPW30Z (drainage device), 0JPW31Z (radioactive element), 0JPW33Z (infusion device), 0JPW37Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0JPW3HZ (contraceptive device), 0JPW3KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 5 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.
