Which MS-DRGs does Q62.0 group to?

Q62.0 sits in MDC 11 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.

  • 698Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Diagnoses with MCCmedical
  • 699Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Diagnoses with CCmedical
  • 700Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Diagnoses without CC/MCCmedical

As a secondary diagnosis, Q62.0 is a complication or comorbidity (CC), which can move a stay into a higher-paying DRG.
