About 0JRF37Z

0JRF37Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a replacement procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, left upper arm 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), 0JR137Z (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, face), 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) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JRF07Z (open).

With a different device, use 0JRF3JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0JRF3KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for 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), DRG 500 (Soft Tissue Procedures with MCC), DRG 501 (Soft Tissue Procedures with CC) and DRG 502 (Soft Tissue Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures”, “Soft Tissue Procedures”, “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures” and 3 more.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
