ICD-10-PCS Code For Neck Muscle Right: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0K82 includes procedures performed to divide muscle tissue in the neck on the right side. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a clinician performs a surgical division of the right neck muscle without drainage to relieve tension, release contracture, or access deeper structures.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient with a long-standing cervical dystonia presents for a planned inpatient surgical procedure after conservative therapies failed; the surgeon performs a targeted division of the overactive right neck muscle to reduce spasm and improve head posture. This is an elective admission for operative muscle division of the right neck muscle without drainage. Typical codes: 0K820ZZ, 0K824ZZ
A middle-aged patient with an acute right-sided traumatic muscle entrapment after a penetrating neck injury is admitted for operative management due to persistent pain and impaired neck movement; the procedure involves open division of the injured right neck muscle fibers to release tension and allow proper wound exploration. This urgent inpatient operation involves transecting the right neck muscle without drainage. Typical codes: 0K820ZZ
A young adult who previously underwent percutaneous endoscopic release of the right neck muscle returns with recurrent contracture and limited range of motion; during an inpatient revision, the surgeon performs a percutaneous endoscopic re-division of the right neck muscle to restore function. Typical codes: 0K824ZZ, 0K823ZZ
