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 0KU3 includes procedures performed to supplement muscle tissue in the neck on the left side. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when biological or synthetic material is placed on or in the left neck muscle to reinforce or augment its function. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0KU3 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when an operative procedure involves implanting or applying material to the left neck muscle specifically to strengthen, support, or augment its function. Do not use these codes for procedures on other neck structures or for procedures where the primary intent is repair, replacement, or removal rather than supplementation.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A 62-year-old woman with progressive left-sided neck muscle atrophy and symptomatic weakness after a prior cervical spine tumor resection presents for elective augmentation to restore neck muscle bulk and support. During a planned open procedure, autologous tissue harvested from the patient is placed into the left neck muscle to reinforce and augment remaining muscle fibers and improve neck stability. This inpatient operation is performed to address chronic functional deficit and improve rehabilitation potential. Typical codes: 0KU307Z
A 45-year-old man presents emergently after a penetrating neck injury with focal loss of left neck muscle substance and ongoing functional impairment. In the operating room, after debridement, a synthetic implant is placed into the left neck muscle via an open approach to immediately restore contour and mechanical support and to facilitate wound closure. The procedure is performed during the index inpatient stay for acute trauma management. Typical codes: 0KU30JZ
A 70-year-old patient with a prior augmentation of the left neck muscle develops a painful seroma and failed integration of the original graft, requiring revision. Through a percutaneous endoscopic approach, the surgeon removes nonviable material and supplements the left neck muscle with a commercially prepared nonautologous tissue substitute to reestablish reinforcement and promote healing. The revision is performed during the inpatient admission due to postoperative complications and the need for controlled operative management. Typical codes: 0KU34KZ
