MS-DRG 56 – Degenerative Nervous System Disorders with MCC

A Medical DRG in MDC 01 (Diseases & Disorders of the Nervous System). Inpatient cases group to DRG 56 when the ICD-10-CM principal diagnosis is one of the 369 codes listed below and a secondary diagnosis on the major complication or comorbidity (MCC) list is present. Its FY 2026 relative weight is 2.3231 with a geometric mean length of stay of 5.7 days.

How a case is assigned to DRG 56

The grouper first assigns the case to MDC 01 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 → 56; without MCC → 57.
