Parathyroid Gland Surgery

Minnesota rates for HCPCS 60500

An operation in the neck to find the parathyroid glands — four small glands behind the thyroid that control the calcium level in the blood — and remove the one or more that have become overactive. It is done when too much parathyroid hormone drives the calcium level up, causing kidney stones, thinning bones, tiredness or confusion. Laboratory examination of the removed tissue is charged separately.
