ICD-10-PCS 01J Medical and Surgical: Peripheral Nervous System Inspection
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Inspection (code 01J) involves the careful visual or manual examination of a body part without altering its structure. In the Medical and Surgical section, it specifically applies to the Peripheral Nervous System for diagnostic evaluation.
This operation allows medical professionals to directly observe and assess peripheral nerves to diagnose conditions or guide treatment decisions. The codes highlight different methods of inspection, such as an Open Approach for direct exposure of the nerve (code 01JY0ZZ), a less invasive Percutaneous Approach (code 01JY3ZZ), and a Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach that uses an endoscope to visualize the nerve through small incisions (code 01JY4ZZ). These distinctions ensure precise documentation of the procedure type and approach, which is essential for accurate medical records and billing.
