ICD-10-MS-DRG Grouper Version 37.2 Implemented
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has implemented 12 new procedure codes to describe the introduction or infusion of therapeutic substances into ICD-10-PCS, effective for discharges on or after August 1, 2020. The ICD-10 MS-DRG Grouper software package Version 37.2 will accommodate these new codes. All of the 12 new procedure codes are designated as non-O.R. procedures, and as such, they will not affect MS-DRG assignment.
The ICD-10 MS-DRG V37.2 Grouper Software, Definitions Manual Table of Contents and the Definitions of Medicare Code Edits V37.2 manual will be available at:
The Code Tables, Index and related Addenda files for the 12 new procedure codes are available at: https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Coding/ICD10/2020-ICD-10-PCS
