About 0GBJ0ZX

0GBJ0ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the thyroid gland isthmus using an open approach (qualifier: diagnostic). In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to open biopsy of thyroid gland, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (06.12).

For a different body part, codes include 0GB00ZX (pituitary gland), 0GB10ZX (pineal body), 0GB20ZX (left adrenal gland), 0GB30ZX (right adrenal gland), 0GB40ZX (bilateral adrenal glands), 0GB60ZX (left carotid body) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0GBJ3ZX (percutaneous) and 0GBJ4ZX (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 625 (Thyroid, Parathyroid and Thyroglossal Procedures with MCC), DRG 626 (Thyroid, Parathyroid and Thyroglossal Procedures with CC) and DRG 627 (Thyroid, Parathyroid and Thyroglossal Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Thyroid, Parathyroid and Thyroglossal Procedures”.

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