Potential MS-DRG Relationships (FY2026)

The MS-DRG grouper treats this as a non-operating-room procedure. It appears in the surgical logic of 7 MS-DRGs:

  • MDC 14 — Vaginal Delivery with O.R. Procedures Except Sterilization and/or D&C: DRG 768
  • MDC 14 — Vaginal Delivery with Sterilization and/or D&C: DRG 796, DRG 797, DRG 798
  • MDC 14 — Vaginal Delivery without Sterilization or D&C: DRG 805, DRG 806, DRG 807

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