V44.0
In effect · V44.0 Pre-MDC Surgical

Assigned before MDC logic runs, so it is driven by the procedure rather than the principal diagnosis. The grouper still reports the principal diagnosis's own MDC on a grouped claim.

Relative weight by grouper version

Relative weight is not payment: actual reimbursement also applies wage index, capital, DSH and IME adjustments, and outliers. Group an encounter to see which DRG it actually lands in.
