Which MS-DRGs does C41.3 group to?
C41.3 sits in MDC 08 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.

- 543Pathological Fractures and Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Malignancy with CCmedical
- 544Pathological Fractures and Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Malignancy without CC/MCCmedical
As a secondary diagnosis, C41.3 is a complication or comorbidity (CC), which can move a stay into a higher-paying DRG.
