What is MS-DRG 640?
MS-DRG 640 is the Medicare Severity Diagnosis-Related Group for MISCELLANEOUS DISORDERS OF NUTRITION, METABOLISM, FLUIDS AND ELECTROLYTES 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, 1,992 hospitals reported 142,581 discharges for MS-DRG 640. The average hospital submitted charge was $56K, while the average amount Medicare actually paid was $10K — a 5.5× gap between list price and reimbursement, which is typical for Medicare inpatient claims.
