MS-DRG 063: ISCHEMIC STROKE, PRECEREBRAL OCCLUSION OR TRANSIENT ISCHEMIA WITH THROMBOLYTIC AGENT WITHOUT CC/MCC
MS-DRG 063 is ischemic stroke, precerebral occlusion or transient ischemia with thrombolytic agent without cc/mcc, in MDC 01 (a medical DRG), at the without-CC/MCC level. Its FY2027 relative weight is 1.4550, so a case here pays more than the average Medicare inpatient stay (weight 1.0), with a geometric mean length of stay of 2.20 days. 130 ICD-10-CM principal diagnoses group into MS-DRGs 061–063 under the CMS definitions manual; the most-searched are listed below.

Principal diagnoses that group to MS-DRGs 061–063
From the CMS MS-DRG definitions manual’s principal-diagnosis index: 130 ICD-10-CM codes route here, and the CC/MCC status of the secondary diagnoses decides which of 061–063 the case lands in. The 24 most-searched:
- I63.9Cerebral infarction, unspecified
- I65.29Occlusion and stenosis of unspecified carotid artery
- I65.23Occlusion and stenosis of bilateral carotid arteries
- G45.9Transient cerebral ischemic attack, unspecified
- I63.81Other cerebral infarction due to occlusion or stenosis of small artery
- I63.89Other cerebral infarction
- I65.21Occlusion and stenosis of right carotid artery
