About 0JPTXHZ

0JPTXHZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, trunk using an external approach with contraceptive device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from 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 0JPVXHZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, upper extremity) and 0JPWXHZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, lower extremity).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JPT0HZ (open) and 0JPT3HZ (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 0JPTX0Z (drainage device), 0JPTX1Z (radioactive element), 0JPTX2Z (monitoring device), 0JPTX3Z (infusion device), 0JPTXVZ (infusion device, pump) and 0JPTXXZ (vascular access device, tunneled).

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.
