MS-DRG Grouper Relationships (FY2027)

Potential MS-DRG participation — not a DRG assignment.

The MS-DRG grouper treats this as a non-operating-room procedure. It appears in the surgical logic of 6 MS-DRGs:

  • MDC 05 — Concomitant Aortic and Mitral Valve Procedures: DRG 212
  • MDC 05 — : DRG 233, DRG 234
  • MDC 05 — Percutaneous Cardiovascular Procedures without Intraluminal Device: DRG 250, DRG 251
  • MDC 05 — Concomitant Left Atrial Appendage Closure and Cardiac Ablation: DRG 317

From the CMS MS-DRG Definitions Manual, Appendix E. Actual DRG assignment depends on the complete claim.
