MS-DRG 059: MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS AND CEREBELLAR ATAXIA WITH CC
MS-DRG 059 is multiple sclerosis and cerebellar ataxia with cc, in MDC 01 (a medical DRG), at the with-CC (complication or comorbidity) level. Its FY2027 relative weight is 1.2002, so a case here pays more than the average Medicare inpatient stay (weight 1.0), with a geometric mean length of stay of 3.60 days. 31 ICD-10-CM principal diagnoses group into MS-DRGs 058–060 under the CMS definitions manual; the most-searched are listed below.
