Diagnostic Related Groups - MS-DRG Mapping
The ICD-10 code K56.51 is grouped in the following groups for version MS-DRG V39.0 What are Diagnostic Related Groups?
The Diagnostic Related Groups (DRGs) are a patient classification scheme which provides a means of relating the type of patients a hospital treats. The DRGs divides all possible principal diagnoses into mutually exclusive principal diagnosis areas referred to as Major Diagnostic Categories (MDC). applicable from 10/01/2021 through 09/30/2022.
MS-DRG | MS-DRG Title | MCD | Relative Weight |
---|---|---|---|
388 | GASTROINTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION WITH MCC | 06 | 1.5118 |
389 | GASTROINTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION WITH CC | 06 | 0.8218 |
390 | GASTROINTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION WITHOUT CC/MCC | 06 | 0.5826 |
The relative weight of a diagnostic related group determines the reimbursement rate based on the severity of a patient's illness and the associated cost of care during hospitalization.
Replacement Code
K5651 replaces the following previously assigned ICD-10 code(s):
- K56.5 - Intestinal adhesions w obst (postprocedural) (postinfection)
- K56.5 - Intestinal adhesions with obstruction (postinfection)
Convert K56.51 to ICD-9 Code
The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code K56.51 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.
