About 0JXM3ZZ
0JXM3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a transfer procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, left upper leg using a percutaneous approach. 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 graft of muscle or fascia, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (83.82).
For a different body part, codes include 0JX03ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, scalp), 0JX13ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, face), 0JX43ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, right neck), 0JX53ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, left neck), 0JX63ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, chest), 0JX73ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, back) and 15 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JXM0ZZ (open).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 500 (Soft Tissue Procedures with MCC), DRG 501 (Soft Tissue Procedures with CC), DRG 502 (Soft Tissue Procedures without CC/MCC), 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 categories “Soft Tissue Procedures”, “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
