Which MS-DRGs does T82.828A group to?

T82.828A 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.

  • 314Other Circulatory System Diagnoses with MCCmedical
  • 315Other Circulatory System Diagnoses with CCmedical
  • 316Other Circulatory System Diagnoses without CC/MCCmedical

As a secondary diagnosis, T82.828A is a complication or comorbidity (CC), which can move a stay into a higher-paying DRG.
