V44.0 O.R. procedure Procedure cluster member

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.

MDC assignment

This code appears under more than one MDC. Which applies depends on the rest of the encounter, so group the claim to settle it.

Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures
