Which MS-DRGs does P28.11 group to?
P28.11 sits in MDC 15 and helps define the logic of 1 MS-DRG (version 44, FY2027). Which one a stay actually groups to also depends on procedures and secondary diagnoses.

Excludes1 — never code together
The conditions below can never be reported together with P28.11 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- resorption atelectasis with respiratory distress syndrome (P22.0)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 16
The conditions below are not part of P28.11, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, P28.11 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Code also — inherited from P28
Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether P28.11 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.
- , if applicable, congenital malformations of the respiratory system (Q30-Q34)
