0DB13ZZ ICD-10-PCS Code: Excision of Upper Esophagus, Percutaneous 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 18 MS-DRGs:

• MDC 03 — Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures: DRG 143, DRG 144, DRG 145
• MDC 06 — Stomach, Esophageal and Duodenal Procedures: DRG 326, DRG 327, DRG 328
• MDC 17 — Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures: DRG 820, DRG 821, DRG 822
• MDC 17 — Myeloproliferative Disorders or Poorly Differentiated Neoplasms with Major O.R. Procedures: DRG 826, DRG 827, DRG 828
• 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
