About 0JHW03Z

0JHW03Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, lower extremity using an open approach with infusion device. 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 other miscellaneous procedures, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (99.99).

For a different body part, codes include 0JHS03Z (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, head and neck), 0JHT03Z (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, trunk) and 0JHV03Z (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, upper extremity).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JHW33Z (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 0JHW01Z (radioactive element) and 0JHW0YZ (other 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.
