MS-DRG 534: FRACTURES OF FEMUR WITHOUT MCC
MS-DRG 534 is fractures of femur without mcc, in MDC 08 (a medical DRG), at the without-CC/MCC level. Its FY2027 relative weight is 0.8403, so a case here pays less than the average Medicare inpatient stay (weight 1.0), with a geometric mean length of stay of 3.00 days. 273 ICD-10-CM principal diagnoses group into MS-DRGs 533–534 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 533–534
From the CMS MS-DRG definitions manual’s principal-diagnosis index: 273 ICD-10-CM codes route here, and the CC/MCC status of the secondary diagnoses decides which of 533–534 the case lands in. The 24 most-searched:
- S72.91XAUnspecified fracture of right femur, initial encounter for closed fracture
- S72.92XAUnspecified fracture of left femur, initial encounter for closed fracture
- S72.301AUnspecified fracture of shaft of right femur, initial encounter for closed fracture
- S72.301BUnspecified fracture of shaft of right femur, initial encounter for open fracture type I or II
