Basal Ganglia Extirpation Procedure Overview
Procedures in this ICD-10-PCS group involve the extirpation, or taking out, of solid matter from the basal ganglia within the central nervous system and cranial nerves body system. These operations remove obstructing or pathological solid material from the basal ganglia to restore or preserve neurologic function. Accurate coding of these extirpation procedures matters for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the specific operative action and anatomic target, which affects case mix classification and payment.
