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 SystemR | Upper Joints |
| 3 | Root OperationG | Fusion Joining together portions of an articular body part rendering the articular body part immobile |
| 4 | Body Part6 | Thoracic Vertebral Joint |
| 5 | Approach0 | Open |
| 6 | Device7 | Autologous Tissue Substitute |
| 7 | QualifierJ | Posterior Approach, Anterior Column |
MS-DRG Grouper Relationships (FY2027)
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 20 MS-DRGs:
- MDC 01 — Spinal Procedures: DRG 028, DRG 029, DRG 030
- MDC 08 — Single Level Combined Anterior and Posterior Spinal Fusion Except Cervical: DRG 402
- MDC 08 — Multiple Level Combined Anterior and Posterior Spinal Fusion Except Cervical: DRG 426, DRG 427, DRG 428
- MDC 08 — Multiple Level Spinal Fusion Except Cervical: DRG 447, DRG 448
- MDC 08 — Single Level Spinal Fusion Except Cervical: DRG 450, DRG 451
- MDC 08 — Spinal Fusion Except Cervical with Spinal Curvature, Malignancy, or Infection: DRG 456, DRG 457, DRG 458
- 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.
