Inpatient Payment Groups (MS-DRG)
Potential MS-DRG participation — not a DRG assignment.
MS-DRGs this diagnosis helps define, as principal or secondary, per the CMS ICD-10-CM/PCS MS-DRG Definitions Manual v44, Appendix B.
- MS-DRG 542 — PATHOLOGICAL FRACTURES AND MUSCULOSKELETAL AND CONNECTIVE TISSUE MALIGNANCY WITH MCC (MDC 08)
- MS-DRG 543 — PATHOLOGICAL FRACTURES AND MUSCULOSKELETAL AND CONNECTIVE TISSUE MALIGNANCY WITH CC (MDC 08)
- MS-DRG 544 — PATHOLOGICAL FRACTURES AND MUSCULOSKELETAL AND CONNECTIVE TISSUE MALIGNANCY WITHOUT CC/MCC (MDC 08)
A diagnosis appearing in a group's logic does not by itself determine the DRG assigned to a stay; the grouper uses the full claim.
Risk Adjustment (CMS-HCC)
Payment categories this diagnosis maps to under CMS-HCC V28, payment year 2026.
- HCC 21 — Lymphoma and Other Cancers (supersedes HCC 22, HCC 23)
Other models: CMS-HCC V22 HCC 10 · RxHCC V08 HCC 22
Risk scores depend on the enrollee's full accepted diagnosis set and segment; a category mapping alone does not determine payment.

Coder workflow for C47.0
MedCoder structured workflow — derived from this code’s own official record
Before you code C47.0
- Confirm the documented site and behavior (this code’s block classifies malignant neoplasms), whether the site is primary or secondary, and whether the malignancy is current or a personal history: a previously excised malignancy with no further treatment and no evidence of disease is history, not current disease. Verify the site against the Table of Neoplasms. Neoplasm chapter guidelines (Guidelines I.C.2.a, I.C.2.d, I.C.2.m).
See the Table of Neoplasms entries · Guide: Active cancer vs history of cancer →
- Check the Excludes1 note: if the documentation supports a condition named there, do not simply proceed with C47.0. Excludes1 conditions are not reported together with this code unless the record shows they are unrelated (Guidelines I.A.12.a).
Choose the right path
- Does the documentation support a condition named in C47.0’s Excludes1 note?
Yes → Do not simply proceed: review the excluded code. Both are reported only when the record shows the two conditions are unrelated.
No → Continue.
Consider C47.0. Then confirm the code is valid for the date of service in the Verify section.
Documentation check
- The provider’s diagnostic statement
- Codes are assigned from the provider’s documented diagnosis, not from clinical criteria, test values or a medication list (Guidelines I.A.19).
- Anatomical site
- At the most specific level the record states; a site the classification separates cannot be assumed from a procedure or a measurement.
- Behavior and current-versus-history status
- Malignant, in situ, benign or uncertain; primary or secondary; current disease or personal history (Guidelines I.C.2.m).
Official instructions as workflow
Excludes1 — check before selecting C47.0(2 notes)
Coding workflow: If the documentation supports a condition named in this note, do not simply proceed with C47.0: the two are not reported together. The one exception is when the record shows the two conditions are unrelated to each other.
See the official tabular notes · Guidelines I.A.12.a
Coding decision scenarios
Pattern scenarios for this code’s structure — decision rules, not clinical cases
Documentation: Both the condition C47.0 describes and a condition named in its Excludes1 note are documented for the same encounter.
Coding question: Can both codes be reported?
Path: Review the Excludes1 note and the excluded code, and look for a provider statement on whether the two conditions are related.
Reason: Excludes1 means the two are not coded together; the exception is when the record shows the conditions are unrelated to each other (Guidelines I.A.12.a).
Every row is derived from this code’s own record — its title, tabular notes, 7th-character family and same-category siblings — with fixed MedCoder wording; nothing is inferred about a patient. The official notes and guideline text are in the sections each row links to, and they control.
Coding context
Guidelines, coding notes, decision aids, relationships (with MS-DRG and CCSR classification), hierarchy, HCC, coverage and the context map: what a coder reaches for after the core. Each section names whether it is official source data, a MedCoder-derived relationship or MedCoder editorial.

Relationships & Classification
MedCoder-derived relationships — computed from published CMS and AHRQ datasets
Other codes that name C47.0 or its code family, from the CMS ICD-10-CM tabular instructional notes and the CMS Table of Neoplasms. Tabular-note edges are stored at the code family level that carries each note.
Referenced by 1 Excludes1 note: C72 — Malignant neoplasm of spinal cord, cranial nerves and other parts of central nervous system (via C47.-).
These codes’ tabular lists mark this diagnosis as mutually exclusive — not reported together unless the conditions are documented as unrelated.
Referenced by 1 Excludes2 note: C49 — Malignant neoplasm of other connective and soft tissue (via C47.-).
These codes’ tabular lists name this diagnosis as distinct — both may be reported when both are documented.

MS-DRG Grouper Relationships (FY2027)
Potential MS-DRG participation — not a DRG assignment.
FY2027 MS-DRG: CC — Complication or Comorbidity. Reported as a secondary diagnosis, this code raises the stay's MS-DRG severity tier — except when the principal diagnosis is one of 2 clinically related codes on its CMS exclusion list.
Named in the grouper logic of 3 MS-DRGs: DRG 542 (MDC 08), DRG 543 (MDC 08), DRG 544 (MDC 08).
From the CMS MS-DRG Definitions Manual (Appendices B and C). Actual DRG assignment depends on the complete claim.
