03LJ3ZZ

Potential MS-DRG Relationships (FY2026)

The MS-DRG grouper treats this as an operating room procedure. It appears in the surgical logic of 16 MS-DRGs:

• MDC 01 — Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures: DRG 040, DRG 041, DRG 042
• MDC 03 — Major Head and Neck Procedures: DRG 140, DRG 141, DRG 142
• MDC 05 — Complex Aortic Arch Procedures: DRG 209
• MDC 05 — Other Vascular Procedures: DRG 252, DRG 253, DRG 254
• MDC 21 — Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries: DRG 907, DRG 908, DRG 909
• MDC 24 — Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma: DRG 957, DRG 958, DRG 959

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