About 0JPW3XZ
0JPW3XZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, lower extremity using a percutaneous approach with vascular access device, tunneled. 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 0JPT3XZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, trunk) and 0JPV3XZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, upper extremity).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JPW0XZ (open) and 0JPWXXZ (external).
With a different device, use 0JPW30Z (drainage device), 0JPW31Z (radioactive element), 0JPW33Z (infusion device), 0JPW37Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0JPW3HZ (contraceptive device), 0JPW3JZ (synthetic 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.
