ICD-10-PCS 0KH Medical and Surgical: Muscles Insertion

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Insertion (code 0KH) involves placing a device or implant into a body part. In the Medical and Surgical section, these codes specifically pertain to inserting devices into muscles.

This Insertion operation is used to document the placement of devices such as stimulator leads or other implants into upper and lower muscles. Coding accuracy depends on the specific body part involved and the approach used, which can be Open, Percutaneous, or Percutaneous Endoscopic. For example, the code 0KHX0MZ describes the Insertion of a stimulator lead into an upper muscle via an open approach, while 0KHY4YZ represents the Insertion of another device into a lower muscle through a percutaneous endoscopic approach. These distinctions help healthcare professionals document the type of device and method of insertion precisely for clinical and billing purposes.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify 0KH - 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). There are a total of 13 procedure codes in this section.
