MS-DRG 096: BACTERIAL AND TUBERCULOUS INFECTIONS OF NERVOUS SYSTEM WITHOUT CC/MCC
MS-DRG 096 is bacterial and tuberculous infections of nervous system without cc/mcc, in MDC 01 (a medical DRG), at the without-CC/MCC level. Its FY2027 relative weight is 2.3213, so a case here pays more than the average Medicare inpatient stay (weight 1.0), with a geometric mean length of stay of 4.50 days. 23 ICD-10-CM principal diagnoses group into MS-DRGs 094–096 under the CMS definitions manual; the most-searched are listed below.

Principal diagnoses that group to MS-DRGs 094–096
From the CMS MS-DRG definitions manual’s principal-diagnosis index: 23 ICD-10-CM codes route here, and the CC/MCC status of the secondary diagnoses decides which of 094–096 the case lands in. The 23 most-searched:
