Frequently Asked Questions

What is MS-DRG 479?

MS-DRG 479 (Biopsies of Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue without CC/MCC) is a surgical DRG in MDC 08 (Diseases & Disorders of the Musculoskeletal System & Connective Tissue). Its FY 2026 relative weight is 1.8589 with a geometric mean length of stay of 3.3 days.

What is the difference between DRG 477, 478, 479?

All 3 share the same base category; the severity of secondary diagnoses separates them: 477 (with MCC), 478 (with CC), 479 (without CC/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 479?

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

What is the relative weight of DRG 479?

The FY 2026 relative weight of this DRG is 1.8589, meaning reimbursement of roughly 1.86 times the average Medicare inpatient case. Multiply by a hospital's blended base rate for the approximate payment.
