About 0G544ZZ

0G544ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the bilateral adrenal glands using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, destruction means physical eradication of all or a portion of a body part by the direct use of energy, force, or a destructive agent.

In plain terms, this corresponds to excision of lesion of adrenal gland, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (07.21).

For a different body part, codes include 0G504ZZ (pituitary gland), 0G514ZZ (pineal body), 0G524ZZ (left adrenal gland), 0G534ZZ (right adrenal gland), 0G564ZZ (left carotid body), 0G574ZZ (right carotid body) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0G540ZZ (open) and 0G543ZZ (percutaneous).

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.
