About 0GP500Z
0GP500Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the adrenal gland using an open approach with drainage device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to incision of adrenal gland, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (07.41).
For a different body part, codes include 0GP000Z (pituitary gland), 0GP100Z (pineal body), 0GPK00Z (thyroid gland), 0GPR00Z (parathyroid gland) and 0GPS00Z (endocrine gland).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0GP530Z (percutaneous), 0GP540Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0GP5X0Z (external).
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.
