Which MS-DRGs does T32.84 group to?
T32.84 sits in MDC 22 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.

- 933Extensive Burns or Full Thickness Burns with MV >96 Hours without Skin Graftmedical
As a secondary diagnosis, T32.84 is a major complication or comorbidity (MCC), which can move a stay into a higher-paying DRG. It also carries Hospital-Acquired Condition category 05.

- Corrosion › unspecified site with extent of body surface involved specified › 80-89 percent › with › 40-49 percent third degree (injury) (acid) (caustic) (chemical) (lime) (external) (internal)
