About 4A0172B

4A0172B is the ICD-10-PCS code for a measurement procedure on the peripheral nervous using a via natural or artificial opening approach with conductivity (qualifier: motor). In ICD-10-PCS, measurement means determining the level of a physiological or physical function at a point in time.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other nonoperative neurologic function tests, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (89.15).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 4A0102B (open), 4A0132B (percutaneous), 4A0182B (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 4A01X2B (external).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
