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

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0K83 includes procedures performed to divide muscle tissue in the neck on the left side. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a surgeon performs a division of the left neck muscle to separate or transect muscle fibers without drainage. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0K83 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An adult patient presents after a penetrating neck injury with a retained foreign body traversing the left sternocleidomastoid muscle causing focal entrapment and localized functional impairment. In the operating room under general anesthesia the surgeon performs an open division of the left neck muscle fibers to obtain adequate exposure, remove the foreign material, and separate damaged muscle segments to allow repair. No drainage of fluids or gases from the muscle is performed. Typical codes: 0K830ZZ
A middle-aged patient with chronic, refractory spasm of a left posterior neck muscle causing persistent pain and restricted range of motion undergoes a planned, minimal-access procedure. Under image guidance in a procedure suite the clinician uses a percutaneous approach to divide targeted muscle fibers to relieve the contracture while avoiding a formal open incision. The procedure is performed without drainage of fluids or gases from the muscle. Typical codes: 0K833ZZ
An older patient with recurrent symptomatic nodular fibrosis within the left neck muscle after prior conservative treatments undergoes a percutaneous endoscopic procedure to directly visualize and divide the fibrotic muscle bands. The endoscopic approach allows targeted transection of the abnormal muscle tissue to restore function and reduce pain; no drainage is performed. Typical codes: 0K834ZZ
