About 0J0L3ZZ

0J0L3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a alteration procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, right upper leg using a percutaneous 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 size reduction plastic operation, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (86.83).

For a different body part, codes include 0J013ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, face), 0J043ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, right neck), 0J053ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, left neck), 0J063ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, chest), 0J073ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, back), 0J083ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, abdomen) and 8 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0J0L0ZZ (open).

It is an operating-room procedure in 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), DRG 581 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 619 (O.R. Procedures for Obesity with MCC), DRG 620 (O.R. Procedures for Obesity with CC) and DRG 621 (O.R. Procedures for Obesity without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures”, “O.R. Procedures for Obesity” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.

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