Severity family
The grouper first assigns the case to MDC 03 from the principal diagnosis and finds no qualifying operating-room procedure (this is a Medical DRG; ICD-10-PCS codes do not drive assignment here), then applies the severity split from secondary diagnoses: with MCC → 150; without MCC → 151.
