About 0XJ9XZZ
0XJ9XZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a inspection procedure on the left upper arm using an external approach. In ICD-10-PCS, inspection means visually and/or manually exploring a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other nonoperative measurements and examinations, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (89.39).
For a different body part, codes include 0XJ2XZZ (right shoulder region), 0XJ3XZZ (left shoulder region), 0XJ4XZZ (right axilla), 0XJ5XZZ (left axilla), 0XJ6XZZ (right upper extremity), 0XJ7XZZ (left upper extremity) and 9 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0XJ90ZZ (open), 0XJ93ZZ (percutaneous) and 0XJ94ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
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.
