Subcutaneous Tissue and Fascia, Pelvic Region ICD-10-PCS Coding

ICD-10-PCS Code For Subcutaneous Tissue And Fascia, Pelvic Region: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0JQC includes procedures performed to repair subcutaneous tissue and fascia in the pelvic region. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when surgical repair of pelvic subcutaneous tissue and fascial layers is performed to correct defects, wounds, or disruptions. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0JQC group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Subcutaneous Tissue And Fascia, Pelvic Region Repair Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes repairs of the subcutaneous tissue and fascia in the pelvic region and targets the subcutaneous tissue and fascial layers. These repairs restore, to the extent possible, normal anatomic structure and function of the pelvic subcutaneous tissue and fascia. Accurate inpatient ICD-10-PCS coding is important because it documents the specific anatomic site and operation performed and supports appropriate case mix grouping and payment.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A middle-aged patient presents to the emergency department after a traumatic pelvic laceration from a motor vehicle collision with underlying degloving and disruption of subcutaneous tissue and fascia over the pelvic ring. The patient is admitted for operative repair to restore the anatomic layers, control bleeding, and reduce infection risk; an open repair is performed to approximate fascial edges and close the subcutaneous tissue. Typical codes: 0JQC0ZZ
An elderly patient with a chronic sacral pressure ulcer extending to subcutaneous tissue but sparing deeper structures is admitted for planned surgical reconstruction after failed conservative care; the procedure involves debridement and layered repair of the pelvic subcutaneous tissue and fascia to promote wound closure and prevent recurrence. Typical codes: 0JQC0ZZ, 0JQC3ZZ
A postoperative inpatient develops wound dehiscence of a prior pelvic incision with separation of subcutaneous tissue and fascial layers; the patient returns to the operating room for re-approximation and repair of the disrupted pelvic subcutaneous tissue and fascia, performed via a minimally invasive percutaneous approach when feasible. Typical codes: 0JQC3ZZ
