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 44 MS-DRGs:
- MDC 01 — Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures: DRG 040, DRG 041, DRG 042
- MDC 02 — Extraocular Procedures Except Orbit: DRG 115
- MDC 03 — Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures: DRG 143, DRG 144, DRG 145
- MDC 04 — Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures: DRG 166, DRG 167, DRG 168
- MDC 05 — Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures: DRG 264
- MDC 06 — Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures: DRG 356, DRG 357, DRG 358
- MDC 07 — Other Hepatobiliary or Pancreas O.R. Procedures: DRG 423, DRG 424, DRG 425
- MDC 08 — Wound Debridement and Skin Graft Except Hand for Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Disorders: DRG 463, DRG 464, DRG 465
- MDC 09 — Skin Debridement: DRG 570, DRG 571, DRG 572
- MDC 10 — Skin Grafts and Wound Debridement for Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic Disorders: DRG 622, DRG 623, DRG 624
- MDC 11 — Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Procedures: DRG 673, DRG 674, DRG 675
- MDC 12 — Other Male Reproductive System O.R. Procedures: DRG 715, DRG 716, DRG 717, DRG 718
