About 0GCL3ZZ

0GCL3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the right superior parathyroid gland 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 incision of thyroid field, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (06.09).

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 0GCL0ZZ (open) and 0GCL4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 143 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 144 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 145 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 579 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with MCC), DRG 580 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with CC) and DRG 581 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures”, “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures”, “Thyroid, Parathyroid and Thyroglossal Procedures” and 2 more.

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