MS-DRGDescriptionFactor
056Degenerative nervous system disorders w MCC1.12
057Degenerative nervous system disorders w/o MCC1.11
A principal diagnosis that groups to none of the 19 designated MS-DRGs gets no MS-DRG adjustment. Otherwise the claim still receives the federal per diem base rate and the other adjustments.
