Which MS-DRGs does G95.11 group to?
G95.11 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.
- 091Other Disorders of Nervous System with MCCmedical
- 092Other Disorders of Nervous System with CCmedical
- 093Other Disorders of Nervous System without CC/MCCmedical
As a secondary diagnosis, G95.11 is a major complication or comorbidity (MCC), which can move a stay into a higher-paying DRG.
