What is MS-DRG 641?
MS-DRG 641 is the Medicare Severity Diagnosis-Related Group for MISCELLANEOUS DISORDERS OF NUTRITION, METABOLISM, FLUIDS AND ELECTROLYTES 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, 2,100 hospitals reported 121,532 discharges for MS-DRG 641. The average hospital submitted charge was $36K, while the average amount Medicare actually paid was $6K — a 6.3× gap between list price and reimbursement, which is typical for Medicare inpatient claims.
