ICD-10-PCS Code For Glomus Jugulare: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0GQC includes procedures performed to repair structures in the glomus jugulare. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a patient undergoes surgical repair to restore the anatomy and function of the glomus jugulare. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0GQC group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Glomus Jugulare Repair Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve surgical repair of the glomus jugulare and target the endocrine system. These operations restore, to the extent possible, the normal anatomic structure and function of the glomus jugulare. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the specific repair performed and supports appropriate case mix assignment.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when a documented inpatient procedure specifically repairs the glomus jugulare. Select the code when the operative note describes restoration of anatomy or function of the glomus jugulare as the principal operative intent.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An adult patient presents emergently with progressive cranial nerve deficits and conductive hearing loss due to a bleeding glomus jugulare tumor causing local structural disruption; imaging confirms tumor-related injury to the glomus jugulare requiring immediate surgical restoration of the damaged structure. Because the goal is direct visualization and repair of the injured glomus jugulare in an open operative field to control hemorrhage and reconstruct anatomy, an open repair approach is performed during the inpatient admission. This intervention is undertaken to restore anatomic integrity and preserve cranial nerve function. Typical codes: 0GQC0ZZ
A middle-aged patient with disabling pulsatile tinnitus and documented erosion of the glomus jugulare from a slow-growing paraganglioma is scheduled electively for a minimally invasive repair to reconstruct the affected glomus jugulare after tumor debulking. Preoperative planning favors a percutaneous endoscopic approach to precisely restore the structure while minimizing tissue disruption and hospitalization time. The inpatient procedure aims to re-establish normal anatomy and relieve symptoms. Typical codes: 0GQC4ZZ
A patient who previously underwent percutaneous repair for a glomus jugulare lesion now presents with recurrent deficits and persistent structural defect identified on imaging; operative notes indicate failure of the prior repair and need for repeat percutaneous intervention to correct persistent anatomical compromise. A percutaneous (non-endoscopic) repair is performed during the inpatient stay to reconstitute the glomus jugulare and address the failed prior procedure. Typical codes: 0GQC3ZZ
