ICD-10-PCS Body System: ICD-10-PCS Body System 01 - Peripheral Nervous System

The ICD-10-PCS root operations for the Peripheral Nervous System under the Medical and Surgical section define specific actions taken on nerves and related structures. Each operation captures a distinct surgical or procedural intent, ranging from removing devices to restoring or altering nerve function.

Examples include Change, which involves replacing an existing device without additional incisions; Destruction, where all or part of a nerve is eradicated using energy or force; and Division, the cutting of nerves to separate or transect without drainage. Procedures like Excision and Extirpation refer to cutting out nerve tissue or solid matter, respectively. Insertion and Removal deal with non-biological appliances placed in or taken from the nervous system. More restorative operations include Repair, aiming to restore nerve structure and function, and Replacement or Supplement, where biological or synthetic materials support or substitute nerve parts. Additionally, Inspection is the visual or manual exploration of nerve structures, while Release frees nerves from physical constraints. These detailed operation codes ensure precise documentation of peripheral nervous system interventions in ICD-10-PCS coding.

List of ICD-10-PCS procedures under ICD-10-PCS Body System 01 - Peripheral Nervous System

• 012 - 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

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

• 018 - 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

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

• 01B - Excision - Cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part

• 01C - Extirpation - Taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part

• 01D - Extraction - Pulling or stripping out or off all or a portion of a body part by the use of force

• 01H - 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

• 01J - Inspection - Visually and/or manually exploring a body part

• 01N - Release - Freeing a body part from an abnormal physical constraint by cutting or by use of force

• 01P - Removal - Taking out or off a device from a body part

• 01Q - Repair - Restoring, to the extent possible, a body part to its normal anatomic structure and function

• 01R - 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

• 01S - Reposition - Moving to its normal location or other suitable location all or a portion of a body part

• 01U - Supplement - Putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically reinforces and/or augments the function of a body part

• 01W - Revision - Correcting, to the extent possible, a portion of a malfunctioning device or the position of a displaced device

• 01X - 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
