MS-DRG 917: POISONING AND TOXIC EFFECTS OF DRUGS WITH MCC
MS-DRG 917 is poisoning and toxic effects of drugs with mcc, in MDC 21 (a medical DRG), at the with-MCC (major complication or comorbidity) level. Its FY2027 relative weight is 1.5700, so a case here pays more than the average Medicare inpatient stay (weight 1.0), with a geometric mean length of stay of 3.70 days. 1,499 ICD-10-CM principal diagnoses group into MS-DRGs 917–918 under the CMS definitions manual; the most-searched are listed below.
