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

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 01UF includes procedures performed to supplement biological or synthetic material on the sciatic nerve in the peripheral nervous system. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when material is placed to reinforce, protect, or augment the function of the sciatic nerve during a surgical encounter. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 01UF group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Sciatic Nerve Supplement Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve placing biological or synthetic material to augment or reinforce the sciatic nerve within the peripheral nervous system. These supplements are intended to support nerve function, protect the nerve, or provide structural reinforcement. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these procedures is important for inpatient reimbursement and for reflecting the clinical care provided.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when biological or synthetic materials are intentionally placed on or around the sciatic nerve to reinforce or augment it. Do not use these codes for unrelated nerve procedures that do not involve placement of reinforcing materials.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A middle-aged patient presents after a high-energy pelvic fracture with exposed or entrapped sciatic nerve segments noted during surgical exploration. The patient is taken to the operating room for surgical repair and protection of the nerve where biological graft material is placed directly on the sciatic nerve to reinforce and separate it from scar-prone tissue; this is performed via an open approach as part of the fracture management. Typical codes: 01UF07Z, 01UF0JZ
An older patient with chronic diabetic neuropathy and progressive focal compression of the sciatic nerve causing refractory pain undergoes a planned, minimally invasive percutaneous procedure to place a synthetic nerve wrap around the affected nerve to augment and protect the nerve and reduce further constriction. The patient is admitted for the elective percutaneous intervention and observation given comorbidities and the need for inpatient coding of the supplement material placement. Typical codes: 01UF3JZ, 01UF37Z
A patient with a prior sciatic nerve repair develops painful recurrent perineural fibrosis and functional decline; during a revision surgery using a percutaneous endoscopic technique the surgeon removes scar and places a nonautologous tissue substitute around the sciatic nerve to prevent re-adhesion and support nerve function. This is performed in the inpatient setting as a revision procedure for symptomatic recurrence. Typical codes: 01UF4KZ, 01UF47Z
