Which MS-DRGs does B67.1 group to?

B67.1 sits in MDC 04 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.

  • 177Respiratory Infections and Inflammations with MCCmedical
  • 178Respiratory Infections and Inflammations with CCmedical
  • 179Respiratory Infections and Inflammations without CC/MCCmedical

As a secondary diagnosis, B67.1 is a complication or comorbidity (CC), which can move a stay into a higher-paying DRG.
