ICD-10-PCS Code For Lumbosacral Plexus: Procedure Code Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 018A includes procedures performed to divide neural structures in the lumbosacral plexus. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a surgeon intentionally transects or separates portions of the lumbosacral plexus for therapeutic or diagnostic reasons.

Lumbosacral Plexus Division Procedure Overview
Procedures in this group involve surgically dividing or transecting the lumbosacral plexus, a component of the peripheral nervous system that supplies motor and sensory innervation to the lower extremities and pelvic region. The root operation is Division, which means the intentional cutting into a body part without draining fluids or gases in order to separate or transect neural structures. Accurate coding of these procedures is important for inpatient reimbursement because it precisely captures the type of surgical intervention on the peripheral nervous system and supports correct case mix assignment.
