00PE03Z is grouped with Diagnostic Related Groups - MS-DRG Mapping

Diagnostic Related Groups (DRGs) are a classification system used to group together procedures for the purpose of reimbursement and healthcare management. DRGs are used to standardize the way hospitals and other providers are paid for inpatient services. In this system patients are grouped together based on the primary procedure being performed. Once a patient is assigned a particular group, providers receive a predetermined payment rate for the services rendered. This reimbursement rate is often fixed and is meant to cover the cost of care associated with a particular procedure. Reimbursement is also affected by the relative weight of a diagnostic related group based on the severity of a patient's illness and the associated cost of care during hospitalization.

Diagnostic related groups encourage healthcare providers to focus on quality and efficiency in patient care while managing costs effectively. The procedure code 00PE03Z is present in the following groups for version MS-DRG V42.0 applicable from 10/01/2024 through 09/30/2025.

MS-DRG	MS-DRG Title	MCD
040	Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with MCC	01
041	Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with CC or Peripheral Neurostimulator	01
042	Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures without CC/MCC	01
