About 0GB43ZZ

0GB43ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the bilateral adrenal glands using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to excision of lesion of adrenal gland and other partial adrenalectomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (07.21 and 07.29).

For a different body part, codes include 0GB03ZZ (pituitary gland), 0GB13ZZ (pineal body), 0GB23ZZ (left adrenal gland), 0GB33ZZ (right adrenal gland), 0GB63ZZ (left carotid body), 0GB73ZZ (right carotid body) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0GB40ZZ (open) and 0GB44ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

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.
