Which MS-DRGs does C68.1 group to?
C68.1 sits in MDC 11 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.
- 656Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Neoplasm with MCCsurgical
- 657Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Neoplasm with CCsurgical
- 658Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Neoplasm without CC/MCCsurgical
As a secondary diagnosis, C68.1 is a complication or comorbidity (CC), which can move a stay into a higher-paying DRG.
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from C68
The conditions below can never be reported together with C68.1 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
How long has C68.1 existed?
C68.1 has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.
Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.
