Diagnostic Related Groups - MS-DRG Mapping

The is diagnosis code is grouped in the following groups for version MS-DRG V40.0 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 10/01/2022 through 09/30/2023.

MS-DRG	MS-DRG Title	MCD	Relative Weight
393	OTHER DIGESTIVE SYSTEM DIAGNOSES WITH MCC	06	1.6113
394	OTHER DIGESTIVE SYSTEM DIAGNOSES WITH CC	06	0.943
395	OTHER DIGESTIVE SYSTEM DIAGNOSES WITHOUT CC/MCC	06	0.6449

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.
