About 0JH60FZ

0JH60FZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, chest using an open approach with subcutaneous defibrillator lead. In ICD-10-PCS, insertion means putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JH63FZ (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 0JH600Z (monitoring device, hemodynamic), 0JH602Z (monitoring device), 0JH604Z (pacemaker, single chamber), 0JH605Z (pacemaker, single chamber rate responsive), 0JH606Z (pacemaker, dual chamber), 0JH607Z (cardiac resynchronization pacemaker pulse generator) and 15 more.

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 265 (AICD Lead Procedures) and DRG 275 (Cardiac Defibrillator Implant with Cardiac Catheterization and MCC), under the surgical categories “AICD Lead Procedures” and “Cardiac Defibrillator Implant with Cardiac Catheterization”.

It was added in FY2020, effective October 1, 2019.
