About 0JHG0WZ

0JHG0WZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, right lower arm using an open approach with vascular access device, totally implantable. 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 insertion of totally implantable vascular access device [VAD], the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (86.07).

For a different body part, codes include 0JH60WZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, chest), 0JH80WZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, abdomen), 0JHD0WZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, right upper arm), 0JHF0WZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, left upper arm), 0JHH0WZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, left lower arm), 0JHL0WZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, right upper leg) and 3 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JHG3WZ (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 0JHG0HZ (contraceptive device), 0JHG0NZ (tissue expander), 0JHG0VZ (infusion device, pump) and 0JHG0XZ (vascular access device, tunneled).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 166 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 167 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 168 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 356 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 357 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 358 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures”, “Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures”, “Other Hepatobiliary or Pancreas O.R. Procedures” and 5 more.

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