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 0KS3 includes procedures performed to reposition muscles in the left neck. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a portion or all of the left neck muscle is moved to its normal location or another suitable location to restore anatomy or function. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0KS3 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A middle-aged patient presents after a motor vehicle collision with an acute traumatic avulsion and displacement of the left sternocleidomastoid muscle causing neck deformity, pain, and impaired head rotation. The patient is admitted for operative repair to restore anatomy and function by moving the avulsed portion of the left neck muscle back to its normal attachment and stability; an open approach is used due to associated hematoma and need for direct visualization. Typical codes: 0KS30ZZ
An adult elective case in which a patient with longstanding congenital torticollis refractory to conservative therapies undergoes planned surgical correction to reposition the left neck muscle to improve head posture and cosmesis. Because this is a scheduled procedure to move the involved muscle to a more normal anatomical location, an open surgical repositioning is performed for precision. Typical codes: 0KS30ZZ
A patient with prior endoscopic neck surgery develops symptomatic scarring and contracture of the left neck muscle leading to restricted motion and pain; inpatient revision surgery is performed to release scar tissue and reposition the muscle to a suitable location. Given the less invasive prior approach and targeted intramuscular work, a percutaneous endoscopic approach may be used when feasible. Typical codes: 0KS34ZZ
