About 0J9M3ZZ
0J9M3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, left upper leg using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, drainage means taking or letting out fluids and/or gases from a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to aspiration of skin and subcutaneous tissue, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (86.01).
For a different body part, codes include 0J903ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, scalp), 0J913ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, face), 0J943ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, right neck), 0J953ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, left neck), 0J963ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, chest), 0J973ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, back) and 15 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0J9M0ZZ (open).
With a different device, use 0J9M30Z (drainage device).
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.
