About 0GC43ZZ

0GC43ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the bilateral adrenal glands using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to incision of adrenal gland, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (07.41).

For a different body part, codes include 0GC03ZZ (pituitary gland), 0GC13ZZ (pineal body), 0GC23ZZ (left adrenal gland), 0GC33ZZ (right adrenal gland), 0GC63ZZ (left carotid body), 0GC73ZZ (right carotid body) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0GC40ZZ (open) and 0GC44ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 614 (Adrenal and Pituitary Procedures with CC/MCC) and DRG 615 (Adrenal and Pituitary Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Adrenal and Pituitary Procedures”.

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