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 0KM2 includes procedures performed to reattach muscles in the right neck. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a separated portion of the right neck muscle is surgically reattached to restore anatomy and function.

Neck Muscle Reattachment Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve reattaching a separated portion of the right neck muscle to its normal location and target the muscular body system. These operations restore continuity and function of the neck muscle, addressing traumatic or surgical separations. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding matters for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the specific root operation, body part, and clinical intent that determine coding assignment and payment.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An adult patient presents emergently after a motor vehicle collision with an avulsion of a portion of the right sternocleidomastoid muscle causing active bleeding and loss of neck stability; the patient is taken to the operating room for open surgical exploration, hemorrhage control, and reattachment of the torn right neck muscle to restore anatomy and function and to prevent airway compromise. Typical codes: 0KM20ZZ
An older patient is admitted electively after a head and neck oncologic resection that included resection and subsequent reconstruction of part of the right neck musculature; during the planned inpatient reconstructive surgery the detached segment of the right neck muscle is reattached to its anatomic site to optimize postoperative neck motion and support. Typical codes: 0KM20ZZ
A young athlete develops a chronic symptomatic separation of the right neck muscle from a prior traumatic degloving injury with persistent weakness and pain; after failed conservative management, the patient is admitted for a percutaneous endoscopic-assisted reattachment procedure to minimize soft-tissue dissection and speed recovery while restoring muscle continuity. Typical codes: 0KM24ZZ
