Which MS-DRGs does K86.2 group to?
K86.2 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.
- 438Disorders of Pancreas Except Malignancy with MCCmedical
- 439Disorders of Pancreas Except Malignancy with CCmedical
- 440Disorders of Pancreas Except Malignancy without CC/MCCmedical
As a secondary diagnosis, K86.2 is a complication or comorbidity (CC), which can move a stay into a higher-paying DRG.
