Which MS-DRGs does Q22.3 group to?

Q22.3 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, Q22.3 is a complication or comorbidity (CC), which can move a stay into a higher-paying DRG.
