Which MS-DRGs does P27.8 group to?
P27.8 sits in MDC 04 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.
- 196Interstitial Lung Disease with MCCmedical
- 197Interstitial Lung Disease with CCmedical
- 198Interstitial Lung Disease without CC/MCCmedical
As a secondary diagnosis, P27.8 is a major complication or comorbidity (MCC), which can move a stay into a higher-paying DRG.
