Frequently Asked Questions
What is MS-DRG 797?
MS-DRG 797 (Vaginal Delivery with Sterilization and/or D&C with CC) is a surgical DRG in MDC 14 (Pregnancy, Childbirth & the Puerperium). Its FY 2026 relative weight is 1.0004 with a geometric mean length of stay of 2.5 days.
What is the difference between DRG 796, 797, 798?
All 3 share the same base category; the severity of secondary diagnoses separates them: 796 (with MCC), 797 (with CC), 798 (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 797?
86 ICD-10-PCS operating-room procedure codes group to this DRG.
What is the relative weight of DRG 797?
The FY 2026 relative weight of this DRG is 1.0004, meaning reimbursement of roughly 1.00 times the average Medicare inpatient case. Multiply by a hospital's blended base rate for the approximate payment.
