ICD-10-PCS Code For Parathyroid Gland: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0G2R includes procedures performed to change devices in the parathyroid gland. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when an existing parathyroid device is removed and an identical or similar device is put back in without cutting or puncturing the skin or a mucous membrane. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0G2R group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific device change procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Parathyroid Gland Change Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes inpatient procedures that remove an implanted or external parathyroid device and replace it with an identical or similar device without cutting or puncturing the skin or a mucous membrane. These procedures target the endocrine system specifically the parathyroid gland and involve percutaneous or external device exchange techniques. Accurate coding ensures the inpatient record reflects the device change and supports appropriate case mix and payment.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when an implanted or external parathyroid device is removed and an identical or similar device is reinserted during the same encounter without an incision or puncture. These codes apply when the clinical action is a device change rather than a removal only or an open revision.

ICD-10-PCS Codes

ICD-10-PCS Code	Description
0G2RX0Z	Change Drainage Device in Parathyroid Gland, External Approach
0G2RXYZ	Change Other Device in Parathyroid Gland, External Approach

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A patient with a long-standing external parathyroid drainage catheter develops malfunction with persistent blockage and recurrent neck swelling; inpatient management is scheduled to remove the malfunctioning external drainage device and replace it with an identical external drainage catheter at the bedside without making an incision. The procedure is performed percutaneously under local anesthesia to restore effective drainage and allow continued monitoring of parathyroid-related output. Typical codes: 0G2RX0Z
An elderly patient admitted with acute hypercalcemia secondary to a failing external parathyroid device requires urgent device exchange after imaging shows device displacement but intact surrounding skin; clinicians remove the displaced external device and immediately place an identical external device via a nonincisional approach to reestablish proper parathyroid drainage and stabilize calcium levels. The exchange is done emergently on the inpatient unit without cutting the skin. Typical codes: 0G2RX0Z
A patient with a prior parathyroid procedure presents with persistent serous drainage and device-related skin irritation; during an inpatient revision, the existing external parathyroid device is removed and replaced with an alternative 'other' external device of similar function without creating a new incision. The goal of the nonincisional change is to address device-related complications while preserving the existing tract and minimizing additional tissue disruption. Typical codes: 0G2RXYZ
