What is MS-DRG 280?
MS-DRG 280 is the Medicare Severity Diagnosis-Related Group for ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION, DISCHARGED ALIVE 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, 1,967 hospitals reported 166,991 discharges for MS-DRG 280. The average hospital submitted charge was $72K, while the average amount Medicare actually paid was $12K — a 5.9× gap between list price and reimbursement, which is typical for Medicare inpatient claims.
