About 0GBC4ZZ

0GBC4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the glomus jugulare using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other operations on carotid body, carotid sinus and other vascular bodies, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (39.89).

For a different body part, codes include 0GB04ZZ (pituitary gland), 0GB14ZZ (pineal body), 0GB24ZZ (left adrenal gland), 0GB34ZZ (right adrenal gland), 0GB44ZZ (bilateral adrenal glands), 0GB64ZZ (left carotid body) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0GBC0ZZ (open) and 0GBC3ZZ (percutaneous).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 252 (Other Vascular Procedures with MCC), DRG 253 (Other Vascular Procedures with CC) and DRG 254 (Other Vascular Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Other Vascular Procedures”.

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