About 0JWS37Z

0JWS37Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, head and neck using a percutaneous approach with autologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, revision means correcting, to the extent possible, a portion of a malfunctioning device or the position of a displaced device.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other incision of skin and subcutaneous tissue, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (86.09).

For a different body part, codes include 0JWT37Z (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, trunk), 0JWV37Z (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, upper extremity) and 0JWW37Z (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, lower extremity).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JWS07Z (open) and 0JWSX7Z (external).

With a different device, use 0JWS30Z (drainage device), 0JWS33Z (infusion device), 0JWS3JZ (synthetic substitute), 0JWS3KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute), 0JWS3NZ (tissue expander) and 0JWS3YZ (other device).

It is a non-O.R. procedure that is part of the MS-DRG logic for 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 category “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures”.

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