ICD-10-PCS Body System: ICD-10-PCS Body System 0J - Subcutaneous Tissue and Fascia

The ICD-10-PCS codes for the Subcutaneous Tissue and Fascia focus on a variety of Medical and Surgical root operations addressing this specific body region. These operations involve modifying, removing, or repairing different aspects of the subcutaneous tissues and fascia.

For example, Alteration (0J0) refers to modifying the structure without affecting function, while Insertion (0JH) involves placing a non-biological device that supports physiological functions. Procedures like Excision (0JB) remove a portion of tissue, whereas Destruction (0J5) eradicates parts using energy or force. Other operations include Drainage (0J9) to remove fluids, Repair (0JQ) to restore normal anatomy and function, and Replacement (0JR) inserting material that takes the place of tissue. These codes provide precise documentation for surgical or diagnostic interventions involving the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, facilitating accurate clinical communication and billing.

List of ICD-10-PCS procedures under ICD-10-PCS Body System 0J - Subcutaneous Tissue and Fascia

• 0J0 - Alteration - Modifying the anatomic structure of a body part without affecting the function of the body part

• 0J2 - Change - Taking out or off a device from a body part and putting back an identical or similar device in or on the same body part without cutting or puncturing the skin or a mucous membrane

• 0J5 - Destruction - Physical eradication of all or a portion of a body part by the direct use of energy, force or a destructive agent

• 0J8 - Division - Cutting into a body part without draining fluids and/or gases from the body part in order to separate or transect a body part

• 0J9 - Drainage - Taking or letting out fluids and/or gases from a body part

• 0JB - Excision - Cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part

• 0JC - Extirpation - Taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part

• 0JD - Extraction - Pulling or stripping out or off all or a portion of a body part by the use of force

• 0JH - Insertion - Putting in a non-biological appliance that monitors, assists, performs or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part

• 0JJ - Inspection - Visually and/or manually exploring a body part

• 0JN - Release - Freeing a body part from an abnormal physical constraint by cutting or by use of force

• 0JP - Removal - Taking out or off a device from a body part

• 0JQ - Repair - Restoring, to the extent possible, a body part to its normal anatomic structure and function

• 0JR - Replacement - Putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically takes the place and/or function of all or a portion of a body part

• 0JU - Supplement - Putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically reinforces and/or augments the function of a body part

• 0JW - Revision - Correcting, to the extent possible, a portion of a malfunctioning device or the position of a displaced device

• 0JX - Transfer - 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
