About 0YJC3ZZ
0YJC3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a inspection procedure on the right upper leg using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, inspection means visually and/or manually exploring a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other diagnostic procedures on skin and subcutaneous tissue, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (86.19).
For a different body part, codes include 0YJ03ZZ (right buttock), 0YJ13ZZ (left buttock), 0YJ53ZZ (right inguinal region), 0YJ63ZZ (left inguinal region), 0YJ73ZZ (right femoral region), 0YJ83ZZ (left femoral region) and 13 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0YJC0ZZ (open), 0YJC4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0YJCXZZ (external).
It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
