MS-DRG 644: ENDOCRINE DISORDERS WITH CC
MS-DRG 644 is endocrine disorders with cc, in MDC 10 (a medical DRG), at the with-CC (complication or comorbidity) level. Its FY2027 relative weight is 1.0044, so a case here pays more than the average Medicare inpatient stay (weight 1.0), with a geometric mean length of stay of 3.40 days. 199 ICD-10-CM principal diagnoses group into MS-DRGs 643–645 under the CMS definitions manual; the most-searched are listed below.
