About 0GJS0ZZ

0GJS0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a inspection procedure on the endocrine 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 other incision of thyroid field and other operations on carotid body, carotid sinus and other vascular bodies, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (06.09 and 39.89).

For a different body part, codes include 0GJ00ZZ (pituitary gland), 0GJ10ZZ (pineal body), 0GJ50ZZ (adrenal gland), 0GJK0ZZ (thyroid gland) and 0GJR0ZZ (parathyroid gland).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0GJS3ZZ (percutaneous) and 0GJS4ZZ (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.
