ICD-10-PCS Code For Parathyroid Glands: Procedure Code Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group DG24 includes procedures performed to destroy or ablate parathyroid gland tissue using focused radiation in the endocrine system. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when stereotactic radiosurgery is delivered to treat parathyroid pathology that requires targeted radiation therapy. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS DG24 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific stereotactic radiation procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.
