Potential MS-DRG Relationships (FY2026)

The MS-DRG grouper treats this as an operating room procedure. It appears in the surgical logic of 9 MS-DRGs:

• MDC 08 — Lower Extremity and Humerus Procedures Except Hip, Foot and Femur: DRG 492, DRG 493, DRG 494
• MDC 21 — Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries: DRG 907, DRG 908, DRG 909
• MDC 24 — Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma: DRG 957, DRG 958, DRG 959

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