0J010ZZAlteration of Face Subcutaneous Tissue and Fascia, Open Approach

0J010ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a alteration procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, face using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, alteration means modifying the anatomic structure of a body part without affecting the function of the body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to facial rhytidectomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (86.82).

For a different body part, codes include 0J040ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, right neck), 0J050ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, left neck), 0J060ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, chest), 0J070ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, back), 0J080ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, abdomen), 0J090ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, buttock) and 8 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0J013ZZ (percutaneous).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 143 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 144 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 145 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. 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 “Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures”, “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
