Which MS-DRGs does I30.0 group to?
I30.0 sits in MDC 05 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.
- 314Other Circulatory System Diagnoses with MCCmedical
- 315Other Circulatory System Diagnoses with CCmedical
- 316Other Circulatory System Diagnoses without CC/MCCmedical
As a secondary diagnosis, I30.0 is a complication or comorbidity (CC), which can move a stay into a higher-paying DRG.
How is I30.0 listed in the Alphabetic Index?
These are the routes through the Alphabetic Index that lead to I30.0. They show the wording a clinician may have documented, which often differs from the Tabular description.
- Pericarditis › idiopathic (with decompensation) (with effusion)
- Pericarditis › acute › nonspecific (with decompensation) (with effusion)
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from I30
The conditions below can never be reported together with I30.0 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 9
The conditions below are not part of I30.0, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, I30.0 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- 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)
- endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (E00-E88)
- injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00-T88)
- neoplasms (C00-D49)
- symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (R00-R94)
- systemic connective tissue disorders (M30-M36)
- transient cerebral ischemic attacks and related syndromes (G45.-)
How long has I30.0 existed?

Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.
