MS-DRG 284: ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION, EXPIRED WITH CC

DRGMedicalMDC 05

MS-DRG 284 is acute myocardial infarction, expired with cc, in MDC 05 (a medical DRG), at the with-CC (complication or comorbidity) level. Its FY2027 relative weight is 0.7525, so a case here pays less than the average Medicare inpatient stay (weight 1.0), with a geometric mean length of stay of 1.60 days. 18 ICD-10-CM principal diagnoses group into MS-DRGs 280–285 under the CMS definitions manual; the most-searched are listed below.

Principal diagnoses that group to MS-DRGs 280–285

From the CMS MS-DRG definitions manual’s principal-diagnosis index: 18 ICD-10-CM codes route here, and the CC/MCC status of the secondary diagnoses decides which of 280–285 the case lands in. The 18 most-searched:

  • I21.4Non-ST elevation (NSTEMI) myocardial infarction
  • I21.3ST elevation (STEMI) myocardial infarction of unspecified site
  • I21.9Acute myocardial infarction, unspecified
  • I21.A1Myocardial infarction type 2
  • I21.19ST elevation (STEMI) myocardial infarction involving other coronary artery of inferior wall
  • I21.09ST elevation (STEMI) myocardial infarction involving other coronary artery of anterior wall
  • I21.02ST elevation (STEMI) myocardial infarction involving left anterior descending coronary artery
  • I21.11ST elevation (STEMI) myocardial infarction involving right coronary artery
  • I21.29ST elevation (STEMI) myocardial infarction involving other sites
  • I21.01ST elevation (STEMI) myocardial infarction involving left main coronary artery
  • I21.A9Other myocardial infarction type
  • I22.0Subsequent ST elevation (STEMI) myocardial infarction of anterior wall
  • I22.1Subsequent ST elevation (STEMI) myocardial infarction of inferior wall
  • I22.2Subsequent non-ST elevation (NSTEMI) myocardial infarction
  • I22.8Subsequent ST elevation (STEMI) myocardial infarction of other sites
  • I22.9Subsequent ST elevation (STEMI) myocardial infarction of unspecified site
  • I21.21ST elevation (STEMI) myocardial infarction involving left circumflex coronary artery
  • I21.BMyocardial infarction with coronary microvascular dysfunction
