0JX40ZBTransfer Right Neck Subcutaneous Tissue and Fascia with Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue, Open Approach

0JX40ZB is the ICD-10-PCS code for a transfer procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, right neck using an open approach (qualifier: skin and subcutaneous tissue). In ICD-10-PCS, transfer means moving, without taking out, all or a portion of a body part to another location to take over the function of all or a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to attachment of pedicle or flap graft to other sites, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (86.74).

For a different body part, codes include 0JX00ZB (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, scalp), 0JX10ZB (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, face), 0JX50ZB (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, left neck), 0JX60ZB (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, chest), 0JX70ZB (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, back), 0JX80ZB (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, abdomen) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JX43ZB (percutaneous).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 040 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with MCC), DRG 041 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with CC or Peripheral Neurostimulator), DRG 042 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 140 (Major Head and Neck Procedures with MCC), DRG 141 (Major Head and Neck Procedures with CC) and DRG 142 (Major Head and Neck Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures”, “Major Head and Neck Procedures”, “Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures” and 8 more.

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