Surgical hierarchy

In the order the grouper applies them, highest first. A patient with several procedures is assigned to the highest surgical class one of them belongs to, so this ordering decides the DRG, not the order procedures appear on the claim.

  1. 1 Extensive Burns or Full Thickness Burns with MV >96 Hours
    • 927 Extensive Burns or Full Thickness Burns with MV >96 Hours with Skin Graft 27.8460
  2. 2 Full Thickness Burn
    • 928 Full Thickness Burn with Skin Graft or Inhalation Injury with CC/MCC 7.6477
    • 929 Full Thickness Burn with Skin Graft or Inhalation Injury without CC/MCC 3.0193

Medical DRGs

3 medical DRGs. The surgical hierarchy does not apply to these, so they are listed by number.
