ICD-10-PCS 0J0 Medical and Surgical: Subcutaneous Tissue and Fascia Alteration

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Alteration (code 0J0) refers to procedures that modify the subcutaneous tissue and fascia to improve appearance without affecting body function. This operation is commonly used in cosmetic or reconstructive contexts within the Medical and Surgical section.

Examples of Altering subcutaneous tissue and fascia include interventions on the face, neck, chest, abdomen, back, buttock, and limbs such as the upper and lower arms and legs. These procedures may be performed via an Open Approach (e.g., code 0J010ZZ for the face) or a less invasive Percutaneous Approach (e.g., code 0J013ZZ for the face). Each code precisely documents the anatomical site and approach used, aiding in accurate clinical reporting and reimbursement processes. For instance, altering the right neck subcutaneous tissue can be coded as 0J040ZZ (Open) or 0J043ZZ (Percutaneous), demonstrating the system’s granularity in capturing procedural details.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify 0J0 - Alteration (modifying the anatomic structure of a body part without affecting the function of the body part). There are a total of 31 procedure codes in this section.
