About 0GHS31Z
0GHS31Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the endocrine gland using a percutaneous approach with radioactive element. 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.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0GHS01Z (open) and 0GHS41Z (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0GHS32Z (monitoring device), 0GHS33Z (infusion device) and 0GHS3YZ (other device).
It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.
It was added in FY2021, effective October 1, 2020.
