Which MS-DRGs does I12.0 group to?
I12.0 sits in MDC Pre and helps define the logic of 1 MS-DRG (version 44, FY2027). Which one a stay actually groups to also depends on procedures and secondary diagnoses.

As a secondary diagnosis, I12.0 is a complication or comorbidity (CC), which can move a stay into a higher-paying DRG.

Use additional code
Report an additional code alongside I12.0 to fully describe the condition. I12.0 is sequenced first.
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from I10-I1A
The conditions below can never be reported together with I12.0 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 I12.0 existed?
I12.0 has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.
