About 0GJ50ZZ

0GJ50ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a inspection procedure on the adrenal gland using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, inspection means visually and/or manually exploring a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to unilateral exploration of adrenal field, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (07.01).

For a different body part, codes include 0GJ00ZZ (pituitary gland), 0GJ10ZZ (pineal body), 0GJK0ZZ (thyroid gland), 0GJR0ZZ (parathyroid gland) and 0GJS0ZZ (endocrine gland).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0GJ53ZZ (percutaneous) and 0GJ54ZZ (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.
