About 0GCD3ZZ
0GCD3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the aortic body 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 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 0GC03ZZ (pituitary gland), 0GC13ZZ (pineal body), 0GC23ZZ (left adrenal gland), 0GC33ZZ (right adrenal gland), 0GC43ZZ (bilateral adrenal glands), 0GC63ZZ (left carotid body) and 15 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0GCD0ZZ (open) and 0GCD4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
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.
