What is MS-DRG 266?
MS-DRG 266 is the Medicare Severity Diagnosis-Related Group for ENDOVASCULAR CARDIAC VALVE REPLACEMENT AND SUPPLEMENT PROCEDURES 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, 571 hospitals reported 44,311 discharges for MS-DRG 266. The average hospital submitted charge was $279K, while the average amount Medicare actually paid was $52K — a 5.3× gap between list price and reimbursement, which is typical for Medicare inpatient claims.
