Which MS-DRGs does M35.03 group to?

M35.03 sits in MDC 08 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.

  • 545Connective Tissue Disorders with MCCmedical
  • 546Connective Tissue Disorders with CCmedical
  • 547Connective Tissue Disorders without CC/MCCmedical

As a secondary diagnosis, M35.03 is a complication or comorbidity (CC), which can move a stay into a higher-paying DRG.

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from M30-M36

The conditions below can never be reported together with M35.03 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • autoimmune disease, single organ or single cell-type -code to relevant condition category

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from M35

The conditions below can never be reported together with M35.03 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • reactive perforating collagenosis (L87.1)

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from M35.0

Use additional code — inherited from M35.0

Report an additional code alongside M35.03 to fully describe the condition. M35.03 is sequenced first.

  • code to identify associated manifestations
