Appendix A
Appendix A contains a list of each MS-DRG with a specification of the MDC and whether the MS-DRG is medical or surgical. Some MS-DRGs which contain patients from multiple MDCs (e.g., 014 Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplant) do not have an MDC specified. The letter M is used to designate a medical MS-DRG and the letter P is used to designate a surgical MS-DRG.
