ICD-10-PCS Code For Subcutaneous Tissue And Fascia, Right Neck: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0JX4 includes procedures performed to transfer subcutaneous tissue and fascia in the right neck. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when tissue is moved without taking it out to restore or replace the function of another portion of tissue or structure in the right neck. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0JX4 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient with a large, infected right-sided neck skin and subcutaneous tissue defect following debridement of necrotizing fasciitis is admitted for staged wound management and soft-tissue coverage; inpatient transfer of adjacent subcutaneous tissue and fascia into the defect is performed to provide vascularized tissue support and promote closure after infection control. Typical codes: 0JX40ZB, 0JX40ZZ
A middle-aged trauma patient with a right lateral neck soft-tissue avulsion and loss of superficial fascia from blunt force injury is taken to the OR electively during the same admission to mobilize and transpose nearby subcutaneous tissue and fascia to restore contour and protect deeper structures; the operation is planned once airway and hemodynamics are stabilized. Typical codes: 0JX40ZC, 0JX43ZZ
A patient with prior right neck surgery and wound breakdown presents with exposed hardware and poor healing; during a revision procedure the surgeon repositions and transfers right neck subcutaneous tissue and fascia (using a percutaneous flap advancement technique) to cover the defect and salvage the repair. Typical codes: 0JX43ZB, 0JX43ZC
