About 10J0XZZ

10J0XZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a inspection procedure on the products of conception 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 diagnostic procedures on fetus and amnion, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (75.35).

For a different body part, codes include 10J1XZZ (products of conception, retained) and 10J2XZZ (products of conception, ectopic).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 10J00ZZ (open), 10J03ZZ (percutaneous), 10J04ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 10J07ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 10J08ZZ (via natural or artificial opening 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.
