About MS-DRG 816

MS-DRG 816, Reticuloendothelial and Immunity Disorders without CC/MCC, is a medical DRG in MDC 16 (Diseases and Disorders of the Blood and Blood Forming Organs and Immunological Disorders) under MS-DRG version 44.0, which applies to inpatient discharges from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Its FY2027 relative weight is 0.7381, so Medicare's base payment for this DRG is about 0.74 times the average inpatient case (below average), before hospital-specific adjustments. The geometric mean length of stay is 2.1 days and the arithmetic mean is 2.6 days.

It belongs to a 3-level severity family: DRG 814 (with MCC, weight 2.0729), DRG 815 (with CC, weight 1.0444) and DRG 816 (without CC/MCC, weight 0.7381). The highest-severity level carries 2.8 times the weight of the lowest, which is why documenting CC and MCC conditions matters.
