Oculomotor Nerve Extraction Procedure Overview
Procedures in this group involve extraction of all or a portion of the oculomotor nerve and target the central nervous system and cranial nerves. These procedures remove tissue from the oculomotor nerve by force and are coded to the Extraction root operation in the Medical and Surgical section. Accurate coding of these procedures is important for inpatient reimbursement because it ensures the procedure performed is captured correctly and supports appropriate case mix assignment. Precise documentation of the nerve targeted and extent of extraction is required for correct ICD-10-PCS code assignment.
