About 0JXJ0ZC
0JXJ0ZC is the ICD-10-PCS code for a transfer procedure on the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, right hand using an open approach (qualifier: skin, subcutaneous tissue and fascia). In ICD-10-PCS, transfer means moving, without taking out, all or a portion of a body part to another location to take over the function of all or a portion of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to attachment of pedicle or flap graft to hand, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (86.73).
For a different body part, codes include 0JX00ZC (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, scalp), 0JX10ZC (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, face), 0JX40ZC (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, right neck), 0JX50ZC (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, left neck), 0JX60ZC (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, chest), 0JX70ZC (subcutaneous tissue and fascia, back) and 15 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0JXJ3ZC (percutaneous).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for 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), DRG 573 (Skin Graft for Skin Ulcer or Cellulitis with MCC), DRG 574 (Skin Graft for Skin Ulcer or Cellulitis with CC), DRG 575 (Skin Graft for Skin Ulcer or Cellulitis without CC/MCC) and DRG 576 (Skin Graft Except for Skin Ulcer or Cellulitis with MCC), under the surgical categories “Hand or Wrist Procedures, Except Major Thumb or Joint Procedures”, “Skin Graft”, “Hand Procedures for Injuries” and 3 more.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
