How a case is assigned to DRG 250

The grouper first assigns the case to MDC 05 from the principal diagnosis, then matches a qualifying operating-room procedure from the ICD-10-PCS list below (this is a Surgical DRG), then applies the severity split from secondary diagnoses: with MCC → 250; without MCC → 251.

What is the difference between DRG 250, 251?

All 2 share the same base category; the severity of secondary diagnoses separates them: 250 (with MCC), 251 (without MCC). A major complication or comorbidity (MCC) places the case in the highest-weighted DRG of the family; a CC in the middle; neither in the lowest.

How many procedure codes group to DRG 250?

47 ICD-10-PCS operating-room procedure codes group to this DRG.

What is the relative weight of DRG 250?

The FY 2026 relative weight of this DRG is 2.1825, meaning reimbursement of roughly 2.18 times the average Medicare inpatient case. Multiply by a hospital's blended base rate for the approximate payment.
