D026HZZ ICD-10-PCS Code: Stereotactic Particulate Radiosurgery of Spinal Cord
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 | SectionD | Radiation Therapy |
| 2 | Body System0 | Central and Peripheral Nervous System |
| 3 | Modality2 | Stereotactic Radiosurgery |
| 4 | Treatment Site6 | Spinal Cord |
| 5 | Modality QualifierH | Stereotactic Particulate Radiosurgery |
| 6 | IsotopeZ | None |
| 7 | QualifierZ | None |
MS-DRG Grouper Relationships (FY2027)
Potential MS-DRG participation — not a DRG assignment.
The MS-DRG grouper treats this as a non-operating-room procedure. It appears in the surgical logic of 12 MS-DRGs:
- MDC 01 — Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures: DRG 040, DRG 041, DRG 042
- MDC 10 — Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures: DRG 628, DRG 629, DRG 630
- MDC 17 — Lymphoma and Non-Acute Leukemia with Other Procedures: DRG 823, DRG 824, DRG 825
- MDC 17 — Myeloproliferative Disorders or Poorly Differentiated Neoplasms with Other Procedures: DRG 829, DRG 830
- MDC 17 — Acute Leukemia with Other Procedures: DRG 850
From the CMS MS-DRG Definitions Manual, Appendix E. Actual DRG assignment depends on the complete claim.
