Axis Breakdown
Every ICD-10-PCS code is exactly seven characters, one per axis. Each character's meaning is defined by its position in the code.
| Position | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Section0 | Medical and Surgical |
| 2 | Body SystemC | Mouth and Throat |
| 3 | Root OperationR | Replacement Putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically takes the place and/or function of all or a portion of a body part |
| 4 | Body Part5 | Upper Gingiva |
| 5 | Approach3 | Percutaneous |
| 6 | Device7 | Autologous Tissue Substitute |
| 7 | QualifierZ | No Qualifier |
Potential MS-DRG Relationships (FY2026)
The MS-DRG grouper treats this as an operating room procedure. It appears in the surgical logic of 8 MS-DRGs:
- MDC 03 — Mouth Procedures: DRG 137, DRG 138
- 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.
