What is MS-DRG 177?
MS-DRG 177 is the Medicare Severity Diagnosis-Related Group for RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS AND INFLAMMATIONS WITH 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, 2,508 hospitals reported 308,013 discharges for MS-DRG 177. The average hospital submitted charge was $65K, while the average amount Medicare actually paid was $13K — a 4.8× gap between list price and reimbursement, which is typical for Medicare inpatient claims.
