.01block(+)0;1NUMERICBThis field is used to uniquely identify a specific combination of procedures (located in the "ONE OF" and the "WITH ONE OF n" multiples) which confirm the DRG identified by this record. Blocks are numbered sequentially starting at 1.
1one ofONE;0MULTIPLE82.1111This multiple contains Procedure Codes that will be used in combination with the "With One Of" multiple fields below in the determination of a Diagnosis Related Group (DRG). In the DRG Grouper calculation routines, if a Procedure Code exists in this multiple and also exists in each of the "With One Of" multiples that are present, then it confirms the DRG code in the IDENTIFIER CODE (#.01) field of this record. There will always be at least one Procedure Code in the "One Of" multiple, and at least one Procedure Code in the "With One Of 1" multiple, but the "With One Of 2", "With One Of 3" and "With One Of 4" multiples may be empty.
