About 0J8J3ZZ
0J8J3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a division procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, right hand using a percutaneous 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 incision of soft tissue of hand and Fasciotomy of hand, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (82.09 and 82.12).
For a different body part, codes include 0J803ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, scalp), 0J813ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, face), 0J843ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, right neck), 0J853ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, left neck), 0J863ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, chest), 0J873ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, back) and 19 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0J8J0ZZ (open).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 513 (Hand or Wrist Procedures, Except Major Thumb or Joint Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 514 (Hand or Wrist Procedures, Except Major Thumb or Joint 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), DRG 581 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures without CC/MCC) and DRG 906 (Hand Procedures for Injuries), under the surgical categories “Hand or Wrist Procedures, Except Major Thumb or Joint Procedures”, “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures”, “Hand Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
