About 0YJC0ZZ
0YJC0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a inspection procedure on the right upper leg using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, inspection means visually and/or manually exploring 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 0YJ00ZZ (right buttock), 0YJ10ZZ (left buttock), 0YJ50ZZ (right inguinal region), 0YJ60ZZ (left inguinal region), 0YJ70ZZ (right femoral region), 0YJ80ZZ (left femoral region) and 13 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0YJC3ZZ (percutaneous), 0YJC4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0YJCXZZ (external).
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.
