About MS-DRG 884

MS-DRG 884, Organic Disturbances and Intellectual Disability, is a medical DRG in MDC 19 (Mental Diseases and 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 1.6001, so Medicare's base payment for this DRG is about 1.60 times the average inpatient case, before hospital-specific adjustments. The geometric mean length of stay is 4.6 days and the arithmetic mean is 8 days.

It is subject to Medicare's post-acute care transfer policy, so payment can be reduced when a patient with a shorter-than-average stay is discharged to a skilled nursing facility, home health or another post-acute setting.
