Procedure Codes in MS-DRG 002 - Heart Transplant Or Implant Of Heart Assist System Without MCC

The Medicare Severity Diagnosis-Related Group (MS-DRG) is a patient classification system used to categorize hospital cases based on clinical similarity and expected resource use. MS-DRGs organize all possible principal diagnoses into mutually exclusive groups known as Major Diagnostic Categories (MDCs), which help determine reimbursement under the Medicare Inpatient Prospective Payment System.
