What is MS-DRG 291?
MS-DRG 291 is the Medicare Severity Diagnosis-Related Group for HEART FAILURE AND SHOCK 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, 2,672 hospitals reported 624,396 discharges for MS-DRG 291. The average hospital submitted charge was $51K, while the average amount Medicare actually paid was $10K — a 5.2× gap between list price and reimbursement, which is typical for Medicare inpatient claims.
