MS-DRG 315: OTHER CIRCULATORY SYSTEM DIAGNOSES WITH CC
MS-DRG 315 is other circulatory system diagnoses with cc, in MDC 05 (a medical DRG), at the with-CC (complication or comorbidity) level. Its FY2027 relative weight is 0.9508, so a case here pays less than the average Medicare inpatient stay (weight 1.0), with a geometric mean length of stay of 2.60 days. 260 ICD-10-CM principal diagnoses group into MS-DRGs 314–316 under the CMS definitions manual; the most-searched are listed below.

This DRG is subject to the post-acute care transfer policy: a discharge to a qualifying setting below the mean length of stay is paid per diem rather than in full.
Principal diagnoses that group to MS-DRGs 314–316
From the CMS MS-DRG definitions manual’s principal-diagnosis index: 260 ICD-10-CM codes route here, and the CC/MCC status of the secondary diagnoses decides which of 314–316 the case lands in. The 24 most-searched:
- R94.31Abnormal electrocardiogram [ECG] [EKG]
- R09.89Other specified symptoms and signs involving the circulatory and respiratory systems
- I27.20Pulmonary hypertension, unspecified
- I95.9Hypotension, unspecified
- I42.9Cardiomyopathy, unspecified
- R03.0Elevated blood-pressure reading, without diagnosis of hypertension
- R58Hemorrhage, not elsewhere classified
- I43Cardiomyopathy in diseases classified elsewhere
- Z95.2Presence of prosthetic heart valve
- I31.39Other pericardial effusion (noninflammatory)
- Z95.828Presence of other vascular implants and grafts
- I42.2Other hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
- R94.39Abnormal result of other cardiovascular function study
- Z94.1Heart transplant status
- Z95.3Presence of xenogenic heart valve
- I27.0Primary pulmonary hypertension
- I27.21Secondary pulmonary arterial hypertension
- I42.1Obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
- I5ANon-ischemic myocardial injury (non-traumatic)
