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 12 MS-DRGs:

  • MDC 01 — Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures: DRG 040, DRG 041, DRG 042
  • MDC 10 — Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures: DRG 628, DRG 629, DRG 630
  • MDC 17 — Lymphoma and Non-Acute Leukemia with Other Procedures: DRG 823, DRG 824, DRG 825
  • MDC 17 — Myeloproliferative Disorders or Poorly Differentiated Neoplasms with Other Procedures: DRG 829, DRG 830
  • MDC 17 — Acute Leukemia with Other Procedures: DRG 850

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