About 0JQL0ZZ

0JQL0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, right upper leg using an open 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 suture of muscle or fascia, other plastic operations on fascia and closure of skin and subcutaneous tissue of other sites, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (83.65, 83.89 and 86.59).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JQL3ZZ (percutaneous).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 500 (Soft Tissue Procedures with MCC), DRG 501 (Soft Tissue Procedures with CC), DRG 502 (Soft Tissue Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 579 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with MCC), DRG 580 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with CC) and DRG 581 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Soft Tissue Procedures”, “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures”, “Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R.
