About 0JPTXXZ

0JPTXXZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, trunk using an external approach with vascular access device, tunneled. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to incision with removal of foreign body or device from skin and subcutaneous tissue, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (86.05).

For a different body part, codes include 0JPVXXZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, upper extremity) and 0JPWXXZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, lower extremity).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JPT0XZ (open) and 0JPT3XZ (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 0JPTX0Z (drainage device), 0JPTX1Z (radioactive element), 0JPTX2Z (monitoring device), 0JPTX3Z (infusion device), 0JPTXHZ (contraceptive device) and 0JPTXVZ (infusion device, pump).

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.
