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 |
---|---|---|---|
742 | UTERINE AND ADNEXA PROCEDURES FOR NON-MALIGNANCY WITH CC/MCC | 13 | 1.717 |
743 | UTERINE AND ADNEXA PROCEDURES FOR NON-MALIGNANCY WITHOUT CC/MCC | 13 | 1.1323 |
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.
