ICD-10-PCS 0JJ Medical and Surgical: Subcutaneous Tissue and Fascia Inspection

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Inspection (code starting with 0JJ) refers to visually and/or manually examining the subcutaneous tissue and fascia to assess their condition without making any changes. This operation is coded within the Medical and Surgical section.

The Inspection of subcutaneous tissue and fascia can be performed on various anatomical locations, including the head and neck, trunk, upper extremities, and lower extremities. The codes differentiate by the approach used: Open (e.g., 0JJS0ZZ for head and neck), Percutaneous (e.g., 0JJT3ZZ for trunk), and External (e.g., 0JJVXZZ for upper extremity). Each code precisely documents the site and method of inspection, helping healthcare professionals capture the diagnostic assessment of these tissue layers. Proper use of these codes ensures accurate representation of procedures involving thorough examination of subcutaneous tissue and fascia without tissue removal or alteration.
