About 0JPWXVZ

0JPWXVZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, lower extremity using an external approach with infusion device, pump. 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 0JPTXVZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, trunk) and 0JPVXVZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, upper extremity).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JPW0VZ (open) and 0JPW3VZ (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 0JPWX0Z (drainage device), 0JPWX1Z (radioactive element), 0JPWX3Z (infusion device), 0JPWXHZ (contraceptive device) and 0JPWXXZ (vascular access device, tunneled).

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.
