About 0G5G3ZZ

0G5G3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the left thyroid gland lobe using a percutaneous 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 thyroid, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (06.31).

For a different body part, codes include 0G503ZZ (pituitary gland), 0G513ZZ (pineal body), 0G523ZZ (left adrenal gland), 0G533ZZ (right adrenal gland), 0G543ZZ (bilateral adrenal glands), 0G563ZZ (left carotid body) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0G5G0ZZ (open) and 0G5G4ZZ (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) and DRG 627 (Thyroid, Parathyroid and Thyroglossal Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Thyroid, Parathyroid and Thyroglossal Procedures”.

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