Pre-MDC: Heart Transplant or Implant of Heart Assist System

CMS is planning to review for FY 2019 the current ICD-10 logic for

Pre-MDC MS-DRGs 001 and 002 (Heart Transplant or Implant of

Heart Assist System with and without MCC, respectively), MS-DRG

215 (Other Heart Assist System Implant) and MS-DRGs 268 and 269

(Aortic and Heart Assist Procedures Except Pulsation Balloon with

and without MCC, respectively), where procedures involving the

heart assist devices are currently assigned.


MDC 1: Functional Quadriplegia

After consideration of the public comments received during the

Comment Period, and the advice of CMS’s clinical advisors, ICD-10-

CM code R53.2 (Functional quadriplegia) is being reassigned to MS-

DRGs 947 and 948 (Signs and Symptoms with MCC and without

MCC, respectively).


10/27/2017

MDC 1: Responsive Neurostimulator (RNS©) System

All cases with a principal diagnosis of

epilepsy, and one of the ICD-10-PCS code

combinations (see table at right) capturing

cases with the neurostimulator generators

inserted into the skull (including cases

involving the use of the RNS©

neurostimulator), will be reassigned to MS-

DRG 023, even if there is no MCC reported


MDC 1: Precerebral Occlusion or Transient Ischemic Attack with Thrombolytic

CMS determined that it would be appropriate to add the ICD-10-CM

diagnosis codes that are currently assigned to MS-DRGs 067 and 068

and the ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes currently assigned to MS-DRG 069

to the grouper logic for MS-DRG 061, 062, and 063 when those

conditions are sequenced as the principal diagnosis and reported with

an ICD-10-PCS procedure code describing use of a thrombolytic agent

(for example, tPA). CMS also finalized the proposal to retitle MS-DRGs

061, 062, and 063 as “Ischemic Stroke, Precerebral Occlusion or

Transient Ischemia with Thrombolytic Agent with MCC, with CC

and without CC/MCC”, respectively, and to retitle MS-DRG 069 as

“Transient Ischemia without Thrombolytic”


10/27/2017

MDC 2: Swallowing Eye Drops (Tetrahydrozoline)

The diagnosis codes listed in the table below are being reassigned

from MS-DRGs 124 and 125 (Other disorders of eye with and

w/out MCC) to MS-DRG 917 and 918 (Poisoning & toxic effects of

drugs with and w/out MCC) for FY 2018: T49.5X1A; T49.5X2A;

T49.5X3A; and T49.5X4A.


MDC 5: Percutaneous Cardiovascular Procedures and Insertion of a Radioactive ElementCMS finalized the removal of ICD-10-PCS procedure codes 0WHC01Z, 0WHC31Z, 0WHC41Z, 0WHD01Z,

0WHD31Z, and 0WHD41Z, (procedures for insertion of radioactive elements into thoracic cavity organs),

from MS-DRGs 246 through 249 (Percutaneous cardiovascular stent insertions), and maintain their current

assignment in MS-DRG 264, Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures


10/27/2017

MDC 5: Modification of the Titles for MS-DRGs 246, 248

Revised the titles for:

• MS-DRG 246 to “Percutaneous Cardiovascular Procedures with

Drug-Eluting Stent with MCC or 4+ Arteries or Stents”, and

• MS-DRG 248 to “Percutaneous Cardiovascular Procedures with

Non-Drug-Eluting Stent with MCC or 4+ Arteries or Stents”.


MDC 5: Percutaneous Mitral Valve Replacement Procedures

Reassigning the four percutaneous mitral valve replacement procedures described by the procedure codes listed in the table to right from MS-DRGs 216 through 221 (Cardiac valve procedures), to MS-DRGs 266 and 267 (Endovascular cardiac valve replacement with MCC; without MCC), and assign the eight new procedure codes (also listed in the table to right) that describe percutaneous and transapical, percutaneous tricuspid valve replacement procedures to MS-DRGs 266 and 267


10/27/2017

6

MDC 8: Total Ankle Replacement (TAR) Procedures

Reassigned the following TAR procedure codes from MS DRG 470 to MS DRG 469, even if there is no MCC reported: 0SRF0J9; 0SRF0JA; 0SRF0JZ; 0SRG0J9; 0SRG0JA; and 0SRG0JZ. Titles of MS-DRGs 469 and 470 are changed to the following:

• MS-DRG 469: “Major Hip and Knee Joint Replacement or Reattachment of Lower Extremity with MCC or Total Ankle Replacement”; and

• MS-DRG 470: “Major Hip and Knee Joint Replacement or Reattachment of Lower Extremity without MCC.”


MDC 8: Magnetic Controlled Growth Rods(MAGEC® System)

After consideration of the public comments that were received, CMS is finalizing the proposal to maintain the current GROUPER logic for cases assigned to MS-DRGs 456, 457, and 458. They are finalizing the proposal to maintain the assignment of the three existing ICD-10-PCS procedure codes (describing an open approach) and finalizing assignment of the three new ICD-10-PCS codes (describing a percutaneous approach) for the use of magnetically controlled growth rods in the treatment of early onset scoliosis to MS-DRGs 518 (Back and neck procedures except spinal fusion w/mcc or disc device or neurostimulator, 519 (w/cc), and 520 (w/o cc/mcc) as per the table below:


10/27/2017

MDC 8: Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue

Combined Anterior/Posterior Spinal Fusion:•Logic for MS-DRGs 453, 454, and 455 (Combined Anterior/Posterior Spinal Fusion with MCC, with CC and without CC/MCC, respectively) is comprised of two lists: an anterior spinal fusion list and a posterior spinal fusion list.

•Assignment to one of the combined spinal fusion MS-DRGs requires a code from each list.

–Seven procedure codes for spinal fusion using a nanotextured surface interbody fusion device has been relocated•FROM: Posterior spinal fusion list•TO: Anterior spinal fusion list

–149 procedure codes for spinal fusion of the anterior column with a posterior approach has been relocated•FROM: Posterior spinal fusion list•TO: Anterior spinal fusion list


MDC 8: Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue

Combined Anterior/Posterior Spinal Fusion (cont.)• Deleted 33 procedure codes for spinal fusion of the posterior

column with an interbody fusion device from:MS-DRGs 453, 454, 455 (Combined Anterior/Posterior Spinal Fusion with

MCC, with CC, and without CC/MCC)MS-DRGs 456, 457, and 458 (Spinal Fusion Except Cervical with Spinal

Curvature or Malignancy or Infection or Extensive Fusions with MCC, with CC, or without CC/MCC),

MS-DRGs 459 and 460 (Spinal Fusion Except Cervical with MCC and without MCC)

MS-DRGs 471, 472, and 473 (Cervical Spinal Fusion with MCC, with CC, and without CC/MCC)

MDC 14: Shock During or Following Labor and Delivery

Following revisions to MDC 14:• Removing ICD-10-CM diagnosis code O75.1 from the list of principal or

secondary diagnosis under the first condition-vaginal delivery GROUPER logic in MS-DRGs 774, 767, and 768;

• Moving ICD-10-CM diagnosis code O75.1 from the list of principal or secondary diagnosis under the second condition-complicating diagnosis for MS-DRG 774 to the secondary diagnosis list only; and

• Adding ICD-10-CM diagnosis code O75.1 to the principal diagnosis list GROUPER logic in MS-DRGs 769 and 776.


MDC 15: Observation and Evaluation of Newborn

MDC 23: Updates to MS-DRGs 945 and 946 (Rehabilitation with CC/MCC and without CC/MCC

CMS:

“We agree with the commenters that, without a specific ICD-10-CM code for encounters for rehabilitation therapy, it is not possible to identify any specific shifts in these cases. If the CDC creates a new code effective October 1, 2018, we will evaluate potential updates to the MS-DRGs utilizing this new code as part of the FY 2019 IPPS/LTCH PPS proposed rule. If the CDC decides not to create a new code, we welcome recommendations from the public on how the MS-DRG logic could be updated to better capture patients within MS-DRGs 945 and 946”.
