About 0CRXXJ1

0CRXXJ1 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a replacement procedure on the lower tooth using an external approach with synthetic substitute (qualifier: multiple). In ICD-10-PCS, replacement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically takes the place and/or function of all or a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to prosthetic dental implant, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (23.6).

For a different body part, codes include 0CRWXJ1 (upper tooth).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0CRX0J1 (open).

With a different device, use 0CRXX71 (autologous tissue substitute) and 0CRXXK1 (nonautologous tissue substitute).

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.
