About 0JWSXNZ

0JWSXNZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, head and neck using an external approach with tissue expander. 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 miscellaneous procedures, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (99.99).

For a different body part, codes include 0JWTXNZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, trunk), 0JWVXNZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, upper extremity) and 0JWWXNZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, lower extremity).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JWS0NZ (open) and 0JWS3NZ (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 0JWSX0Z (drainage device), 0JWSX3Z (infusion device), 0JWSX7Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0JWSXJZ (synthetic substitute) and 0JWSXKZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

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.
