Destruction of Left Breast using LITT, Perc Approach
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 SystemH | Skin and Breast |
| 3 | Root Operation5 | Destruction Physical eradication of all or a portion of a body part by the direct use of energy, force, or a destructive agent |
| 4 | Body PartU | Breast, Left |
| 5 | Approach3 | Percutaneous |
| 6 | DeviceZ | No Device |
| 7 | Qualifier3 | Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy |
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 8 MS-DRGs:
- MDC 09 — Breast Biopsy, Local Excision and Other Breast Procedures: DRG 584, DRG 585
- 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.
