The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0G25 includes procedures performed to change devices in the adrenal gland. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when an identical or similar device is removed from and replaced on the adrenal gland without cutting or puncturing the skin or a mucous membrane. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0G25 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and determines appropriate case mix and payment.

ICD-10-PCS Codes

ICD-10-PCS Code	Description
0G25X0Z	Change Drainage Device in Adrenal Gland, External Approach
0G25XYZ	Change Other Device in Adrenal Gland, External Approach

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A hospitalized patient with an external adrenal drainage catheter placed previously for management of infected adrenal hemorrhage presents with persistent catheter malfunction and incomplete drainage. Because the catheter is external and obstructed despite bedside attempts at irrigation, the surgical team removes the malfunctioning drainage device and immediately replaces it with an identical external drainage catheter at the bedside without making a new incision. The change is performed to restore effective drainage and control ongoing infection and adrenal collection. Typical codes: 0G25X0Z
An elective inpatient admission for planned replacement of a temporary external adrenal drainage device placed weeks earlier after adrenal-sparing surgery. The patient is stable and taken to a procedure area where the original external drainage device is removed and an identical external device is inserted through the same entry site without cutting or puncturing new skin. The procedure is performed to maintain long-term controlled drainage while the adrenal bed heals. Typical codes: 0G25X0Z
A patient with chronic pain and a previously implanted adrenal neuromodulation lead that has failed to provide symptom control presents for revision. The external portion of the device is removed and an identical or similar external adjunct device is replaced on the adrenal gland entry site without incision or puncture of new tissue to attempt re-establishing function. The change is done in the inpatient setting due to prior device-related complications and need for monitored observation after the procedure. Typical codes: 0G25XYZ
