MS-DRG 301: PERIPHERAL VASCULAR DISORDERS WITHOUT CC/MCC
MS-DRG 301 is peripheral vascular disorders without cc/mcc, in MDC 05 (a medical DRG), at the without-CC/MCC level. Its FY2027 relative weight is 0.7133, so a case here pays less than the average Medicare inpatient stay (weight 1.0), with a geometric mean length of stay of 2.00 days. 1,234 ICD-10-CM principal diagnoses group into MS-DRGs 299–301 under the CMS definitions manual; the most-searched are listed below.
