ICD-10-PCS 0GH Medical and Surgical: Endocrine System Insertion

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Insertion (code set starting with 0GH) refers to placing a device into a body part. In the context of the Medical and Surgical section for the Endocrine System, insertion involves introducing various devices directly into endocrine glands for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes.

This operation encompasses inserting devices such as radioactive elements, monitoring devices, infusion devices, or other devices into the endocrine glands. The procedure can be performed through different approaches including the Open Approach (e.g., code 0GHS01Z for radioactive element insertion), the less invasive Percutaneous Approach (e.g., code 0GHS31Z), and the Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach (e.g., code 0GHS41Z). Accurately coding these interventions is essential for reflecting the specific device placement and method used within endocrine system treatments.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify 0GH - Insertion (putting in a non-biological appliance that monitors, assists, performs or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part). There are a total of 13 procedure codes in this section.
