Which MS-DRGs does C22.4 group to?
C22.4 sits in MDC 07 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.
- 435Malignancy of Hepatobiliary System or Pancreas with MCCmedical
- 436Malignancy of Hepatobiliary System or Pancreas with CCmedical
- 437Malignancy of Hepatobiliary System or Pancreas without CC/MCCmedical
As a secondary diagnosis, C22.4 is a complication or comorbidity (CC), which can move a stay into a higher-paying DRG.
