Which MS-DRGs does B47.1 group to?
B47.1 sits in MDC 18 and helps define the logic of 3 MS-DRGs (version 44, FY2027). Which one a stay actually groups to also depends on procedures and secondary diagnoses.
- 867Other Infectious and Parasitic Diseases Diagnoses with MCCmedical
- 868Other Infectious and Parasitic Diseases Diagnoses with CCmedical
- 869Other Infectious and Parasitic Diseases Diagnoses without CC/MCCmedical
As a secondary diagnosis, B47.1 is a complication or comorbidity (CC), which can move a stay into a higher-paying DRG.
