Which MS-DRGs does Q22.1 group to?
Q22.1 sits in MDC 05 and helps define the logic of 2 MS-DRGs (version 44, FY2027). Which one a stay actually groups to also depends on procedures and secondary diagnoses.
- 306Cardiac Congenital and Valvular Disorders with MCCmedical
- 307Cardiac Congenital and Valvular Disorders without MCCmedical
As a secondary diagnosis, Q22.1 is a complication or comorbidity (CC), which can move a stay into a higher-paying DRG.

- Fusion, fused › cusps, heart valve NEC › pulmonary (congenital)
- Anomaly, anomalous › pulmonary › valve › stenosis (congenital) (unspecified type)
- Stenosis, stenotic › pulmonary › valve › congenital (cicatricial)
- Stenosis, stenotic › valve › congenital › pulmonary (cicatricial)
- Stricture › heart › valve › pulmonary
- Stricture › pulmonary, pulmonic › valve › congenital
- Stricture › valve › congenital › pulmonary
