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 0GPS includes procedures performed to remove tissue from endocrine glands in the endocrine system. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a clinician performs partial or complete excision of an endocrine gland or glandular tissue to treat conditions such as tumors, hyperfunction, or infection. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0GPS group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient with long-standing hypothyroidism has a previously placed subcutaneous infusion port for continuous hormone delivery that becomes infected with cellulitis and purulent drainage, requiring inpatient IV antibiotics and surgical removal of the device to control the source of infection; removal is performed via an open approach due to scar tissue and involvement of surrounding tissues. Typical codes: 0GPS00Z, 0GPS03Z
A middle-aged patient admitted electively for management of a functioning adrenal adenoma previously treated with an implanted monitoring sensor; during the inpatient stay the sensor malfunctions and must be removed percutaneously under image guidance to allow definitive adrenal surgery planning and prevent inaccurate hormone monitoring. Typical codes: 0GPS32Z
A postoperative complication in a young adult after endocrine surgery presents with persistent drainage from a surgical drain placed in an endocrine gland bed; the drain cannot be removed at bedside due to tethering and is taken to the operating room for removal using a percutaneous endoscopic approach to resolve ongoing contamination and facilitate wound healing. Typical codes: 0GPS40Z, 0GPS30Z
