About the 018 Code Range
These procedures cut into a peripheral nerve or plexus, a network of nerves, to separate all or part of it. They do not drain fluid or gas.
The fourth character identifies the nerve or plexus, including the phrenic, ulnar and sciatic nerves and sympathetic nerves by region. The fifth distinguishes open exposure from entry through a puncture or small incision, with or without a scope for viewing. The sixth and seventh characters are No Device and No Qualifier.
