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 10 MS-DRGs:

  • MDC 08 — Bilateral or Multiple Major Joint Procedures of Lower Extremity: DRG 461, DRG 462
  • MDC 08 — Major Hip and Knee Joint Replacement or Reattachment of Lower Extremity or Total Ankle Replacement: DRG 469, DRG 470
  • 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.
