What is MS-DRG 246?
MS-DRG 246 is the Medicare Severity Diagnosis-Related Group for PERCUTANEOUS CARDIOVASCULAR PROCEDURES WITH DRUG-ELUTING STENT WITH MCC OR 4+ ARTERIES O. 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, 1,045 hospitals reported 27,505 discharges for MS-DRG 246. The average hospital submitted charge was $162K, while the average amount Medicare actually paid was $23K — a 7.1× gap between list price and reimbursement, which is typical for Medicare inpatient claims.
