ICD-10-PCS Code For Oculomotor Nerve: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 00UH includes procedures performed to supplement structures in the oculomotor nerve. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when biological or synthetic material is placed on or into the oculomotor nerve to reinforce or augment its function. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 00UH group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and determines appropriate case mix and payment.

Oculomotor Nerve Supplement Procedure Overview

This procedure group covers placement of biological or synthetic material to reinforce or augment the function of the oculomotor nerve, a component of the central nervous system and cranial nerves. Procedures in this group involve implanting material onto or around the oculomotor nerve to support its function. Accurate coding of these procedures affects inpatient reimbursement because it documents the specific operative approach and resources used for case mix and payment determination.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when biological or synthetic material is intentionally implanted onto or around the oculomotor nerve to support or augment nerve function. Select these codes for inpatient records when the operative intent and documentation clearly indicate placement of augmenting material on the oculomotor nerve.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient presents urgently after a basilar skull fracture from a fall with focal oculomotor nerve compression and progressive diplopia and ptosis; imaging and intraoperative findings demonstrate nerve sheath defect requiring reinforcement with biologic graft to stabilize the nerve and prevent further traction injury. The patient is admitted for urgent neurosurgical repair and placement of autologous tissue to augment the damaged oculomotor nerve. Typical codes: 00UH07Z
A middle-aged patient with chronic, progressive palsy of the oculomotor nerve from prior tumor resection experiences persistent dysfunction despite conservative therapy; during a planned inpatient reconstructive procedure the surgeon places a synthetic supportive wrap around the nerve to augment function and protect against scarring. This elective admission is for definitive reconstruction and functional augmentation of the cranial nerve. Typical codes: 00UH0JZ
A young adult returns to the hospital with worsening ocular motility and recurrent symptoms months after a prior repair for traumatic oculomotor nerve injury; intraoperative inspection shows prior implant failure with fibrosis, so the surgeon removes the failed material and implants a nonautologous biologic substitute to reinforce the nerve and address the complication. Typical codes: 00UH3KZ, 00UH47Z
