About 0JJT3ZZ
0JJT3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a inspection procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, trunk using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, inspection means visually and/or manually exploring a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other diagnostic procedures on muscle, tendon, fascia, and bursa, including that of hand and other diagnostic procedures on skin and subcutaneous tissue, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (83.29 and 86.19).
For a different body part, codes include 0JJS3ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, head and neck), 0JJV3ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, upper extremity) and 0JJW3ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, lower extremity).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JJT0ZZ (open) and 0JJTXZZ (external).
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.
