ICD-10-PCS Code for Coccygeal Glomus: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0G5B includes procedures performed to destroy tissue in the coccygeal glomus. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a clinician performs physical eradication of all or a portion of the coccygeal glomus using energy, force, or a destructive agent. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0G5B group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific root operation and anatomical target treated.

Coccygeal Glomus Destruction Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve the destruction of tissue within the coccygeal glomus and target the endocrine system. These operations use energy, force, or a destructive agent to eradicate all or a portion of the coccygeal glomus. Accurate coding of the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System group is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the specific root operation and anatomical site treated, which affects case mix and payment.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A middle-aged patient presents with a newly symptomatic, enlarging coccygeal glomus causing severe localized pain and episodic autonomic symptoms refractory to conservative pain management; imaging confirms a discrete lesion confined to the coccygeal glomus and the surgical team plans definitive tissue eradication to relieve symptoms during an inpatient stay. The goal is physical destruction of all or part of the coccygeal glomus using an open approach when direct visualization and control are required. Typical codes: 0G5B0Z3, 0G5B0ZZ
An elderly patient with multiple comorbidities has a small, symptomatic coccygeal glomus identified on cross-sectional imaging; because the patient is high risk for open surgery, the interventional team performs a percutaneous image-guided destructive procedure to ablate the lesion during a monitored inpatient admission. This scenario uses a percutaneous approach to destroy coccygeal glomus tissue with a targeted energy modality. Typical codes: 0G5B3Z3, 0G5B3ZZ
A patient previously treated with percutaneous ablation of a coccygeal glomus returns with recurrent focal disease and persistent pain; after endoscopic evaluation demonstrates residual viable glomus tissue, a percutaneous endoscopic destruction procedure is performed during an inpatient admission to eradicate the remaining lesion. The procedure targets destruction of the coccygeal glomus via a percutaneous endoscopic approach to manage recurrence. Typical codes: 0G5B4Z3, 0G5B4ZZ
