ICD-10-PCS Code For Adrenal Gland Right: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0GC3 includes procedures performed to remove solid matter from the adrenal gland in the endocrine system. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a clinician performs extirpation of solid material from the right adrenal gland, such as removal of a tumor or excised lesion. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0GC3 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and the specific body part treated, which determines appropriate case mix and payment.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A 58-year-old patient is admitted urgently with a rapidly enlarging right adrenal mass noted on imaging and worsening flank pain. Cross-sectional imaging suggests a solid adrenal neoplasm suspicious for malignancy; the surgical team proceeds with an open operation to remove the lesion and obtain a definitive diagnosis. Extirpation of the solid tumor from the right adrenal gland via an open approach is performed during the inpatient stay. Typical codes: 0GC30ZZ
A 42-year-old patient with episodic hypertension and biochemical testing consistent with a right adrenal pheochromocytoma is scheduled for inpatient surgery electively after preoperative preparation. To minimize invasiveness and recovery time, the surgeon uses a percutaneous endoscopic approach to excise the solid adrenal lesion and remove tumor tissue from the right adrenal gland. The procedure is planned to address the hormonally active solid mass. Typical codes: 0GC34ZZ
A 65-year-old patient with prior abdominal surgery presents with a recurrent right adrenal mass causing local discomfort and concern for residual tumor; percutaneous image guidance is used for targeted removal of the solid material after multidisciplinary review. Because of adhesions and prior operative history, a percutaneous (non-endoscopic) approach is selected to extirpate the recurrent lesion from the right adrenal gland during the inpatient admission. The procedure addresses symptomatic recurrence and aims to obtain tissue for pathology. Typical codes: 0GC33ZZ
