DRG 061
Medical DRGIschemic Stroke, Precerebral Occlusion or Transient Ischemia with Thrombolytic Agent with MCC
What is MS-DRG 061?
MS-DRG 061 is a Medical Medicare Severity Diagnosis Related Group under Major Diagnostic Category 01 (MDC 01) with a Major Complication or Comorbidity (MCC). It maps to 130 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. For FY 2026 it carries a relative weight of 2.7571 with a geometric mean length of stay of 4.7 days and an arithmetic mean of 6.2 days. Hospitals use this grouping to determine reimbursement for inpatient stays under Medicare.
