About 0GN14ZZ
0GN14ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a release procedure on the pineal body using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, release means freeing a body part from an abnormal physical constraint by cutting or by the use of force.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other operations on pineal gland, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (07.59).
For a different body part, codes include 0GN04ZZ (pituitary gland), 0GN24ZZ (left adrenal gland), 0GN34ZZ (right adrenal gland), 0GN44ZZ (bilateral adrenal glands), 0GN64ZZ (left carotid body), 0GN74ZZ (right carotid body) and 15 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0GN10ZZ (open) and 0GN13ZZ (percutaneous).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 023 (Craniotomy with Major Device Implant or Acute Complex CNS Principal Diagnosis with MCC or Antineoplastic Implant or Epilepsy with Neurostimulator), DRG 024 (Craniotomy with Major Device Implant or Acute Complex CNS Principal Diagnosis without MCC), DRG 025 (Craniotomy and Endovascular Intracranial Procedures with MCC), DRG 026 (Craniotomy and Endovascular Intracranial Procedures with CC), DRG 027 (Craniotomy and Endovascular Intracranial Procedures without CC/MCC) and DRG 614 (Adrenal and Pituitary Procedures with CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Craniotomy with Major Device Implant or Acute Complex CNS Principal Diagnosis”, “Craniotomy and endovascular intracranial procedures” and “Adrenal and Pituitary Procedures”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
