About 0G9M0ZZ
0G9M0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the left superior parathyroid gland using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, drainage means taking or letting out fluids and/or gases from a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other incision of thyroid field, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (06.09).
