About 01C04ZZ

01C04ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the cervical plexus using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other incision of cranial and peripheral nerves, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (04.04).

For a different body part, codes include 01C14ZZ (cervical nerve), 01C24ZZ (phrenic nerve), 01C34ZZ (brachial plexus), 01C44ZZ (ulnar nerve), 01C54ZZ (median nerve), 01C64ZZ (radial nerve) and 16 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 01C00ZZ (open) and 01C03ZZ (percutaneous).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 040 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with MCC), DRG 041 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with CC or Peripheral Neurostimulator) and DRG 042 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
