About MS-DRG 729

MS-DRG 729, Other Male Reproductive System Diagnoses with CC/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 1.0544, so Medicare's base payment for this DRG is about 1.05 times the average inpatient case, before hospital-specific adjustments. The geometric mean length of stay is 3.1 days and the arithmetic mean is 4.3 days.

It belongs to a 2-level severity family: DRG 729 (with CC/MCC, weight 1.0544) and DRG 730 (without CC/MCC, weight 0.6597). The highest-severity level carries 1.6 times the weight of the lowest, which is why documenting CC and MCC conditions matters.
