What is MS-DRG 236?
MS-DRG 236 is the Medicare Severity Diagnosis-Related Group for CORONARY BYPASS WITHOUT CARDIAC CATHETERIZATION WITHOUT 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, 529 hospitals reported 25,216 discharges for MS-DRG 236. The average hospital submitted charge was $202K, while the average amount Medicare actually paid was $29K — a 6.9× gap between list price and reimbursement, which is typical for Medicare inpatient claims.
