About 0GQC0ZZ

0GQC0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the glomus jugulare using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, repair means restoring, to the extent possible, a body part to its normal anatomic structure and function.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other operations on carotid body, carotid sinus and other vascular bodies, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (39.89).

For a different body part, codes include 0GQ00ZZ (pituitary gland), 0GQ10ZZ (pineal body), 0GQ20ZZ (left adrenal gland), 0GQ30ZZ (right adrenal gland), 0GQ40ZZ (bilateral adrenal glands), 0GQ60ZZ (left carotid body) and 16 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0GQC3ZZ (percutaneous) and 0GQC4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 252 (Other Vascular Procedures with MCC), DRG 253 (Other Vascular Procedures with CC) and DRG 254 (Other Vascular Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Other Vascular Procedures”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
