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 0GPR includes procedures performed to remove tissue from the parathyroid gland in the endocrine system. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a parathyroidectomy or removal of parathyroid tissue is performed for diagnostic or therapeutic reasons such as hyperparathyroidism or parathyroid tumor. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0GPR group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific procedure performed and determines appropriate case mix and payment.

Parathyroid Gland Removal Procedure Overview

This group includes procedures that remove tissue from the parathyroid glands and target the endocrine system. These operations involve excision of parathyroid tissue to treat conditions such as hyperparathyroidism or parathyroid adenomas. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these removal procedures ensures inpatient records reflect the specific operation performed and supports correct reimbursement and case mix assignment.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A 62-year-old patient with primary hyperparathyroidism due to a solitary parathyroid adenoma is admitted electively for definitive surgical management after outpatient localization studies. The patient undergoes an open neck exploration with excision of the identified parathyroid tissue; the procedure is performed during the inpatient stay to control hypercalcemia and prevent complications of chronic disease. Typical codes: 0GPR00Z
A 45-year-old patient presents urgently with severe hypercalcemia and symptomatic parathyroid crisis after a recently identified ectopic parathyroid gland; after stabilization, the team proceeds with a minimally invasive percutaneous approach to remove the problematic parathyroid tissue under image guidance. This inpatient procedure is done to rapidly correct life‑threatening biochemical abnormalities and remove the hyperfunctioning tissue. Typical codes: 0GPR30Z
A 70-year-old patient with prior neck surgery develops recurrent hyperparathyroidism from residual parathyroid tissue and requires a targeted endoscopic-assisted procedure to remove adherent residual gland tissue. The inpatient endoscopic approach is chosen because of altered anatomy and the need for careful visualization and tissue removal during the revision operation. Typical codes: 0GPR40Z
