Which MS-DRGs does K71.11 group to?
K71.11 sits in MDC 07 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.
- 441Disorders of Liver Except Malignancy, Cirrhosis or Alcoholic Hepatitis with MCCmedical
- 442Disorders of Liver Except Malignancy, Cirrhosis or Alcoholic Hepatitis with CCmedical
- 443Disorders of Liver Except Malignancy, Cirrhosis or Alcoholic Hepatitis without CC/MCCmedical
As a secondary diagnosis, K71.11 is a major complication or comorbidity (MCC), which can move a stay into a higher-paying DRG.

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from K70-K77
The conditions below can never be reported together with K71.11 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- jaundice NOS (R17)
Code first — inherited from K71
The underlying condition below must be sequenced before K71.11. K71.11 describes a manifestation and cannot be the principal or first-listed diagnosis.
- poisoning due to drug or toxin, if applicable (T36-T65 with fifth or sixth character 1-4)
Use additional code — inherited from K71
Report an additional code alongside K71.11 to fully describe the condition. K71.11 is sequenced first.
- code for adverse effect, if applicable, to identify drug (T36-T50 with fifth or sixth character 5)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 11
The conditions below are not part of K71.11, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, K71.11 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)
