Under Medicare's MS-DRG methodology for hospital inpatient payment, each inpatient stay is assigned to one of about 750 diagnosis-related groups, based on the ICD-10 codes assigned to the diagnoses and procedures. Each MS-DRG has a relative weight that is then converted to a flat payment amount. Surgical supplies for bariatric procedures are typically included in the flat payment and are not paid separately. Only one MS-DRG is assigned for each inpatient stay, regardless of the number of procedures performed. MS-DRGs shown are those typically assigned to the following scenarios when the patient is admitted specifically for the procedure.
