DRGMedicalMDC 06

MS-DRG 382 is complicated peptic ulcer without cc/mcc, in MDC 06 (a medical DRG), at the without-CC/MCC level. Its FY2027 relative weight is 0.7281, so a case here pays less than the average Medicare inpatient stay (weight 1.0), with a geometric mean length of stay of 2.50 days. 22 ICD-10-CM principal diagnoses group into MS-DRGs 380–382 under the CMS definitions manual; the most-searched are listed below.

Principal diagnoses that group to MS-DRGs 380–382

From the CMS MS-DRG definitions manual’s principal-diagnosis index: 22 ICD-10-CM codes route here, and the CC/MCC status of the secondary diagnoses decides which of 380–382 the case lands in. The 22 most-searched:

  • K22.70Barrett's esophagus without dysplasia
  • K22.10Ulcer of esophagus without bleeding
