About 0GHS03Z

0GHS03Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the endocrine gland using an open approach with infusion device. In ICD-10-PCS, insertion means putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other incision of thyroid field, incision of adrenal gland, incision of pineal gland and 2 more, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (06.09, 07.41, 07.52 and 2 more).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0GHS33Z (percutaneous) and 0GHS43Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0GHS01Z (radioactive element), 0GHS02Z (monitoring device) and 0GHS0YZ (other device).

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.
