Vagus Nerve Insertion Procedure Overview
Procedures in this group involve the insertion of neurostimulator leads into the vagus nerve using a percutaneous approach and target the nervous system. These insertion procedures place a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function without replacing a body part. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these nervous system insertion procedures is important for inpatient reimbursement and for reflecting the specific device and approach used. Precise coding supports correct case mix assignment and payment.
