Reasoning Behind the Changes

In evaluating changes to the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10-PCS) codes, which separate ECMO into central and peripheral ECMO, CMS’s clinical advisors determined that because central ECMO is an invasive procedure requiring a sternotomy and direct cannulation carries significant risk for complications, the ICD-10-PCS code for central ECMO would remain classified as an OR (surgical) procedure in MS-DRG 003..

STS Action

It is unclear whether any changes can be made for FY 2019, but STS will continue its efforts and, if necessary, comment to CMS on MS-DRG assignments for FY 2020.
