DRGMedicalMDC 06

MS-DRG 380 is complicated peptic ulcer with mcc, in MDC 06 (a medical DRG), at the with-MCC (major complication or comorbidity) level. Its FY2027 relative weight is 1.9245, so a case here pays more than the average Medicare inpatient stay (weight 1.0), with a geometric mean length of stay of 4.90 days. 22 ICD-10-CM principal diagnoses group into MS-DRGs 380–382 under the CMS definitions manual; the most-searched are listed below.
