All codes under H75

H75 can't be used on a claim. Pick a billable code below; grey headings group them.

H75 MS-DRGs

As the principal diagnosis, all 8 billable codes under H75 group to MS-DRG 154, 155, or 156 (v44.0). Which one applies depends on procedures performed, secondary diagnoses (CC/MCC), and the patient's age and discharge status.
