Which MS-DRGs does G11.0 group to?
G11.0 sits in MDC 01 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.
- 058Multiple Sclerosis and Cerebellar Ataxia with MCCmedical
- 059Multiple Sclerosis and Cerebellar Ataxia with CCmedical
- 060Multiple Sclerosis and Cerebellar Ataxia without CC/MCCmedical
As a secondary diagnosis, G11.0 is a complication or comorbidity (CC), which can move a stay into a higher-paying DRG.
How is G11.0 listed in the Alphabetic Index?
These are the routes through the Alphabetic Index that lead to G11.0. They show the wording a clinician may have documented, which often differs from the Tabular description.
- Ataxia, ataxy, ataxic › congenital nonprogressive
- Ataxia, ataxy, ataxic › nonprogressive, congenital
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 6

- certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P04-P96)
- certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99)
- complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)
- congenital malformations, deformations, and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99)
