Resection of Vulva, Open Approach
An operating room procedure. An O.R. procedure drives DRG assignment on its own, so it can change the MDC and MS-DRG regardless of the principal diagnosis. It is also part of a procedure cluster, meaning certain combinations group differently than this code does alone.
This code appears under more than one MDC. Which applies depends on the rest of the encounter, so group the claim to settle it.
0UTM0ZZ belongs to 4 procedure clusters. Reported with the code beside it, the claim groups to the DRGs shown rather than the ones above.
0UTM0ZZ reaches 2 DRG groups across 2 MDCs. Enter it with a principal diagnosis to see which one it lands in.
