About 0GPK40Z

0GPK40Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the thyroid gland using a percutaneous endoscopic 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 0GPK00Z (open), 0GPK30Z (percutaneous) and 0GPKX0Z (external).

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.
