Potential MS-DRG Relationships (FY2026)

The MS-DRG grouper treats this as an operating room procedure. It appears in the surgical logic of 2 MS-DRGs:

• MDC 10 — Adrenal and Pituitary Procedures: DRG 614, DRG 615

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