Phrenic Nerve Division Procedure Overview
Procedures in this group involve surgically dividing the phrenic nerve within the peripheral nervous system to interrupt nerve conduction. These operations separate or transect the nerve without draining fluids or gases. Accurate coding of phrenic nerve division is important for inpatient reimbursement because it captures the specific root operation and anatomical target, which affects case mix and payment.
