0JQK0ZZRepair Left Hand Subcutaneous Tissue and Fascia, Open Approach

0JQK0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, left hand using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, repair means restoring, to the extent possible, a body part to its normal anatomic structure and function.

In plain terms, this corresponds to suture of muscle or fascia of hand and closure of skin and subcutaneous tissue of other sites, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (82.46 and 86.59).

For a different body part, codes include 0JQ00ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, scalp), 0JQ10ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, face), 0JQ40ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, right neck), 0JQ50ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, left neck), 0JQ60ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, chest), 0JQ70ZZ (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, back) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JQK3ZZ (percutaneous).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 040 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with MCC), DRG 041 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with CC or Peripheral Neurostimulator), DRG 042 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 513 (Hand or Wrist Procedures, Except Major Thumb or Joint Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 514 (Hand or Wrist Procedures, Except Major Thumb or Joint Procedures without CC/MCC) and DRG 579 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with MCC), under the surgical categories “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures”, “Hand or Wrist Procedures, Except Major Thumb or Joint Procedures”, “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures” and 2 more.
