What is MS-DRG 603?
MS-DRG 603 is the Medicare Severity Diagnosis-Related Group for CELLULITIS 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, 1,888 hospitals reported 110,012 discharges for MS-DRG 603. The average hospital submitted charge was $36K, while the average amount Medicare actually paid was $6K — a 5.7× gap between list price and reimbursement, which is typical for Medicare inpatient claims.
