MS-DRG Grouper Relationships (FY2027)

Potential MS-DRG participation — not a DRG assignment.

The MS-DRG grouper treats this as an operating room procedure. It appears in the surgical logic of 1 MS-DRG:

  • MDC PRE — ECMO or Tracheostomy with MV >96 Hours or Principal Diagnosis Except Face, Mouth and Neck: DRG 003

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