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 27 MS-DRGs:
- MDC 01 — Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures: DRG 040, DRG 041, DRG 042
- MDC 03 — Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures: DRG 143, DRG 144, DRG 145
- MDC 05 — Other Vascular Procedures: DRG 252, DRG 253, DRG 254
- MDC 08 — Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures: DRG 515, DRG 516, DRG 517
- MDC 11 — Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Procedures: DRG 673, DRG 674, DRG 675
- MDC 12 — : DRG 715, DRG 716
- MDC 12 — Other Male Reproductive System O.R. Procedures: DRG 717, DRG 718
- MDC 13 — Other Female Reproductive System O.R. Procedures: DRG 749, DRG 750
- 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.
