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

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0GHS includes procedures performed to insert nonbiological appliances that monitor, assist, perform, or prevent a physiological function in the endocrine gland. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a device is placed in or on an endocrine gland to provide monitoring or functional support without replacing the gland. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0GHS group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Endocrine Gland Insertion Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes insertion of nonbiological appliances that monitor, assist, perform, or prevent a physiological function in the endocrine system, specifically the endocrine gland. These procedures involve placing devices into or on the endocrine gland without replacing the gland itself. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these insertions ensures inpatient records reflect the device and function, which affects reimbursement and clinical documentation integrity.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when an inpatient procedure places a nonbiological device into or onto an endocrine gland to monitor or support its function. Do not use these codes for procedures that remove, replace, or directly alter the endocrine gland tissue.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An adult patient with a newly diagnosed insulin-producing pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor is admitted for planned placement of a localized infusion catheter into the affected endocrine gland to deliver targeted chemotherapeutic or radiotherapeutic agents while preserving surrounding tissue; the procedure is elective and performed under imaging guidance to position the infusion device within the gland for controlled drug delivery. Typical codes: 0GHS33Z, 0GHS3YZ
A hospitalized patient with labile calcium and recurrent life‑threatening hyperparathyroidism undergoes urgent insertion of a monitoring device into the parathyroid tissue to continuously measure gland function and guide immediate medical management; this is performed percutaneously at the bedside due to acute biochemical derangement. Typical codes: 0GHS32Z, 0GHS3YZ
A patient with a prior implanted adrenal gland infusion port presents with device malfunction and recurrent adrenal crisis symptoms; during an inpatient revision, the nonfunctioning infusion appliance is removed and a new nonbiological infusion device is inserted into the endocrine gland via an open surgical approach to restore reliable hormone delivery. Typical codes: 0GHS03Z, 0GHS0YZ
