About 0J810ZZ

0J810ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a division procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, face using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, division means cutting into a body part, without draining fluids and/or gases from the body part, in order to separate or transect a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other orbitotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (16.09).

For a different body part, codes include 0J800ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, scalp), 0J840ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, right neck), 0J850ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, left neck), 0J860ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, chest), 0J870ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, back), 0J880ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, abdomen) and 19 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0J813ZZ (percutaneous).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 113 (Orbital Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 114 (Orbital Procedures without CC/MCC), 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) and DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), under the surgical categories “Orbital Procedures”, “Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.

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