Which MS-DRGs does Q87.2 group to?

Q87.2 sits in MDC 08 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.

  • 564Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue Diagnoses with MCCmedical
  • 565Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue Diagnoses with CCmedical
  • 566Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue Diagnoses without CC/MCCmedical

As a secondary diagnosis, Q87.2 is a complication or comorbidity (CC), which can move a stay into a higher-paying DRG.
