MS-DRG - 175 PULMONARY EMBOLISM WITH MCC OR ACUTE COR PULMONALE
The Medicare Severity Diagnosis-Related Group or MS-DRG is 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). This is the group for MS-DRG - 175 PULMONARY EMBOLISM WITH Major Complication or Comorbidity OR ACUTE COR PULMONALE diseases in version MS-DRG V40.0 applicable from 10/01/2022 through 09/30/2023.
| MS-DRG | MS-DRG Title | MCD | Relative Weight | Geometric LOS | Arithmetic LOS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 175 | PULMONARY EMBOLISM WITH MCC OR ACUTE COR PULMONALE | 04 | 1.3968 Relative Weight 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. |
3.90 Geometric Length of Stay The geometric mean length of stay (GMLOS) is used by Medicare to calculate the reimbursement for patients whose medical treatment takes a much longer or shorter time than average. |
5.00 Arithmetic Length of Stay The average length of stay (ALOS) reflects the average number of days a patient spends in a hospital for each admission. |
