About 0JPV3NZ

0JPV3NZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, upper extremity using a percutaneous approach with tissue expander. 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 0JPS3NZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, head and neck), 0JPT3NZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, trunk) and 0JPW3NZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, lower extremity).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JPV0NZ (open).

With a different device, use 0JPV30Z (drainage device), 0JPV31Z (radioactive element), 0JPV33Z (infusion device), 0JPV37Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0JPV3HZ (contraceptive device), 0JPV3JZ (synthetic substitute) and 5 more.

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.
