About 0JR137Z
0JR137Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a replacement procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, face using a percutaneous approach with autologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, replacement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically takes the place and/or function of all or a portion of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to graft of muscle or fascia and fat graft of skin and subcutaneous tissue, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (83.82 and 86.87).
For a different body part, codes include 0JR037Z (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, scalp), 0JR437Z (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, right neck), 0JR537Z (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, left neck), 0JR637Z (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, chest), 0JR737Z (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, back), 0JR837Z (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, abdomen) and 15 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JR107Z (open).
With a different device, use 0JR13JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0JR13KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 113 (Orbital Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 114 (Orbital Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 143 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 144 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 145 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC) and DRG 500 (Soft Tissue Procedures with MCC), under the surgical categories “Orbital Procedures”, “Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures”, “Soft Tissue Procedures” and 4 more.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
