Cervical Nerve Division Procedure Overview
This code group includes procedures that divide or transect cervical nerves within the peripheral nervous system. These operations physically separate nerve fibers or nerve trunks in the cervical region and do not involve draining fluids or gases. Accurate coding of these procedures is important for inpatient reimbursement because it captures the specific operative action on the peripheral nervous system and supports appropriate case mix assignment.
