00DG0ZZ ICD-10-PCS Code: Extraction of Optic Nerve, Open Approach

MS-DRG Grouper Relationships (FY2026)

Potential MS-DRG participation — not a DRG assignment.

The MS-DRG grouper treats this as an operating room procedure. It appears in the surgical logic of 12 MS-DRGs:

• MDC 01 — Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures: DRG 040, DRG 041, DRG 042
• MDC 03 — Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures: DRG 143, DRG 144, DRG 145
• MDC 08 — Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures: DRG 515, DRG 516, DRG 517
• MDC 21 — Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries: DRG 907, DRG 908, DRG 909

From the CMS MS-DRG Definitions Manual, Appendix E. Actual DRG assignment depends on the complete claim.
