ICD-10 · PDGM grouping
K00-K14 — Diseases of oral cavity and salivary glands
Every ICD-10-CM code in this range and the PDGM clinical group CMS assigns to it, read from the CMS grouper crosswalk v07.2.26.

Where these codes group
26 of the 202 codes in K00-K14 group to MMTA - Gastrointestinal tract and Genitourinary system, but the range is not uniform — it spreads across 2 clinical groups. A further 162 are assigned no clinical group at all, which means a 30-day period cannot be grouped from them.
