About 0JPW03Z
0JPW03Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, lower extremity using an open approach with infusion 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 0JPS03Z (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, head and neck), 0JPT03Z (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, trunk) and 0JPV03Z (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, upper extremity).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JPW33Z (percutaneous) and 0JPWX3Z (external).
With a different device, use 0JPW00Z (drainage device), 0JPW01Z (radioactive element), 0JPW07Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0JPW0HZ (contraceptive device), 0JPW0JZ (synthetic substitute), 0JPW0KZ (nonautologous tissue 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.
