MS-DRG 060: MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS AND CEREBELLAR ATAXIA WITHOUT CC/MCC
MS-DRG 060 is multiple sclerosis and cerebellar ataxia without cc/mcc, in MDC 01 (a medical DRG), at the without-CC/MCC level. Its FY2027 relative weight is 0.9247, so a case here pays less than the average Medicare inpatient stay (weight 1.0), with a geometric mean length of stay of 2.90 days. 31 ICD-10-CM principal diagnoses group into MS-DRGs 058–060 under the CMS definitions manual; the most-searched are listed below.
