Severity family
The grouper first assigns the case to MDC 14 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 → 805; with CC → 806; without CC/MCC → 807.
