About MS-DRG 124

MS-DRG 124, Other Disorders of the Eye with MCC or Thrombolytic Agent, is a medical DRG in MDC 02 (Diseases and Disorders of the Eye) under MS-DRG version 44.0, which applies to inpatient discharges from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Its FY2027 relative weight is 1.2471, so Medicare's base payment for this DRG is about 1.25 times the average inpatient case, before hospital-specific adjustments. The geometric mean length of stay is 3.1 days and the arithmetic mean is 4.5 days.

It belongs to a 2-level severity family: DRG 124 (with MCC or Thrombolytic Agent, weight 1.2471) and DRG 125 (without MCC, weight 0.7702). The highest-severity level carries 1.6 times the weight of the lowest, which is why documenting CC and MCC conditions matters.
