About 0JXM0ZC

0JXM0ZC is the ICD-10-PCS code for a transfer procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, left upper leg using an open approach (qualifier: skin, subcutaneous tissue and fascia). 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 0JX00ZC (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, scalp), 0JX10ZC (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, face), 0JX40ZC (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, right neck), 0JX50ZC (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, left neck), 0JX60ZC (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, chest), 0JX70ZC (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, back) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JXM3ZC (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 361 (Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 362 (Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures without MCC) and DRG 356 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with MCC), under the surgical categories “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures”, “Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures”, “Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures” and 7 more.

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