About 0JH63MZ
0JH63MZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, chest using a percutaneous approach with stimulator generator. 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.
In plain terms, this corresponds to implantation or replacement of carotid sinus stimulation pulse generator only and insertion or replacement of other neurostimulator pulse generator, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (39.83 and 86.96).
For a different body part, codes include 0JH73MZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, back) and 0JH83MZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, abdomen).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JH60MZ (open).
With a different device, use 0JH630Z (monitoring device, hemodynamic), 0JH632Z (monitoring device), 0JH634Z (pacemaker, single chamber), 0JH635Z (pacemaker, single chamber rate responsive), 0JH636Z (pacemaker, dual chamber), 0JH637Z (cardiac resynchronization pacemaker pulse generator) and 15 more.
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 040 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with MCC), DRG 041 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with CC or Peripheral Neurostimulator), DRG 042 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 252 (Other Vascular Procedures with MCC), DRG 253 (Other Vascular Procedures with CC) and DRG 254 (Other Vascular Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures” and “Other Vascular Procedures”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
