About 0GP000Z

0GP000Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the pituitary gland using an open approach with drainage device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0GP030Z (percutaneous), 0GP040Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0GP0X0Z (external).

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 579 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with MCC), under the surgical categories “Craniotomy with Major Device Implant or Acute Complex CNS Principal Diagnosis”, “Craniotomy and endovascular intracranial procedures”, “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures” and 1 more.
