About MS-DRG 727
MS-DRG 727, Inflammation of the Male Reproductive System with MCC, is a medical DRG in MDC 12 (Diseases and Disorders of the Male Reproductive System) under MS-DRG version 44.0, which applies to inpatient discharges from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Its FY2027 relative weight is 1.37, so Medicare's base payment for this DRG is about 1.37 times the average inpatient case, before hospital-specific adjustments. The geometric mean length of stay is 4.3 days and the arithmetic mean is 5.6 days.
It belongs to a 2-level severity family: DRG 727 (with MCC, weight 1.37) and DRG 728 (without MCC, weight 0.8224). The highest-severity level carries 1.7 times the weight of the lowest, which is why documenting CC and MCC conditions matters.
67 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes are part of this DRG's grouping logic; they are listed below.
