Which MS-DRGs does Q27.4 group to?

Q27.4 sits in MDC 05 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.

  • 299Peripheral Vascular Disorders with MCCmedical
  • 300Peripheral Vascular Disorders with CCmedical
  • 301Peripheral Vascular Disorders without CC/MCCmedical

As a secondary diagnosis, Q27.4 is a complication or comorbidity (CC), which can move a stay into a higher-paying DRG.
