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 SystemU | Female Reproductive System |
| 3 | Root OperationL | Occlusion Completely closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part |
| 4 | Body Part7 | Fallopian Tubes, Bilateral |
| 5 | Approach8 | Via Natural or Artificial Opening Endoscopic |
| 6 | DeviceZ | No Device |
| 7 | QualifierZ | No Qualifier |
Potential MS-DRG Relationships (FY2026)
The MS-DRG grouper treats this as an operating room procedure. It appears in the surgical logic of 8 MS-DRGs:
- MDC 13 — D&C, Conization, Laparoscopy and Tubal Interruption: DRG 744, DRG 745
- MDC 14 — Cesarean Section with Sterilization: DRG 783, DRG 784, DRG 785
- MDC 14 — Vaginal Delivery with Sterilization and/or D&C: DRG 796, DRG 797, DRG 798
From the CMS MS-DRG Definitions Manual, Appendix E. Actual DRG assignment depends on the complete claim.
