About 0XHD03Z

0XHD03Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the right lower arm using an open approach with infusion device. In ICD-10-PCS, insertion means putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part.

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 0XH203Z (right shoulder region), 0XH303Z (left shoulder region), 0XH403Z (right axilla), 0XH503Z (left axilla), 0XH603Z (right upper extremity), 0XH703Z (left upper extremity) and 9 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0XHD33Z (percutaneous) and 0XHD43Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0XHD01Z (radioactive element) and 0XHD0YZ (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.
