About 0GQK0ZZ

0GQK0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the thyroid gland 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 suture of thyroid gland and other operations on thyroid glands, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (06.93 and 06.98).

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 0GQK3ZZ (percutaneous) and 0GQK4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 625 (Thyroid, Parathyroid and Thyroglossal Procedures with MCC), DRG 626 (Thyroid, Parathyroid and Thyroglossal Procedures with CC), DRG 627 (Thyroid, Parathyroid and Thyroglossal Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Thyroid, Parathyroid and Thyroglossal Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

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