About 0JQ03ZZ

0JQ03ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, scalp using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, repair means restoring, to the extent possible, a body part to its normal anatomic structure and function.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other plastic operations on fascia, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (83.89).

For a different body part, codes include 0JQ13ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, face), 0JQ43ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, right neck), 0JQ53ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, left neck), 0JQ63ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, chest), 0JQ73ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, back), 0JQ83ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, abdomen) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JQ00ZZ (open).

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.
