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 | SectionX | New Technology |
| 2 | Body SystemR | Joints |
| 3 | Root OperationH | Insertion Putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part |
| 4 | Body Part4 | Cervicothoracic Vertebral Joint |
| 5 | Approach4 | Percutaneous Endoscopic |
| 6 | Device / Substance / TechnologyG | Molybdenum Rhenium Alloy Spinal Stabilization Device |
| 7 | New Technology GroupB | New Technology Group 11 |
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 10 MS-DRGs:
- MDC 01 — Spinal Procedures: DRG 028, DRG 029, DRG 030
- MDC 08 — Back and Neck Procedures Except Spinal Fusion or Disc Device or Neurostimulator: DRG 518
- 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.
