MS-DRG 303: ATHEROSCLEROSIS WITHOUT MCC

DRGMedicalMDC 05

MS-DRG 303 is atherosclerosis without mcc, in MDC 05 (a medical DRG), at the without-CC/MCC level. Its FY2027 relative weight is 0.6612, so a case here pays less than the average Medicare inpatient stay (weight 1.0), with a geometric mean length of stay of 1.80 days. 63 ICD-10-CM principal diagnoses group into MS-DRGs 302–303 under the CMS definitions manual; the most-searched are listed below.

Principal diagnoses that group to MS-DRGs 302–303

From the CMS MS-DRG definitions manual’s principal-diagnosis index: 63 ICD-10-CM codes route here, and the CC/MCC status of the secondary diagnoses decides which of 302–303 the case lands in. The 24 most-searched:

  • I25.10Atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery without angina pectoris
  • I25.118Atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery with other forms of angina pectoris
  • I25.2Old myocardial infarction
  • I51.7Cardiomegaly
  • I25.119Atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery with unspecified angina pectoris
  • R93.1Abnormal findings on diagnostic imaging of heart and coronary circulation
  • I25.5Ischemic cardiomyopathy
  • I51.89Other ill-defined heart diseases
  • I51.9Heart disease, unspecified
  • I25.110Atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery with unstable angina pectoris
  • I99.8Other disorder of circulatory system
  • I25.810Atherosclerosis of coronary artery bypass graft(s) without angina pectoris
  • I25.84Coronary atherosclerosis due to calcified coronary lesion
  • I25.9Chronic ischemic heart disease, unspecified
  • I51.3Intracardiac thrombosis, not elsewhere classified
  • I87.8Other specified disorders of veins
