What is MS-DRG 066?
MS-DRG 066 is the Medicare Severity Diagnosis-Related Group for INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGE OR CEREBRAL INFARCTION WITHOUT CC/MCC. When a Medicare patient is discharged, the hospital stay is grouped into a single MS-DRG, and Medicare reimburses the hospital a fixed, predetermined amount for that group rather than itemizing each service.
Across the CMS Medicare Inpatient Hospitals by Provider dataset, 740 hospitals reported 21,270 discharges for MS-DRG 066. The average hospital submitted charge was $41K, while the average amount Medicare actually paid was $5K — a 9.0× gap between list price and reimbursement, which is typical for Medicare inpatient claims.
