About 0JPVXHZ

0JPVXHZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, upper extremity 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 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 0JPTXHZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, trunk) and 0JPWXHZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, lower extremity).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JPV0HZ (open) and 0JPV3HZ (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 0JPVX0Z (drainage device), 0JPVX1Z (radioactive element), 0JPVX3Z (infusion device), 0JPVXVZ (infusion device, pump) and 0JPVXXZ (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.
