What is MS-DRG 854?
MS-DRG 854 is the Medicare Severity Diagnosis-Related Group for INFECTIOUS AND PARASITIC DISEASES WITH O.R. PROCEDURES WITH CC. 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, 889 hospitals reported 26,711 discharges for MS-DRG 854. The average hospital submitted charge was $97K, while the average amount Medicare actually paid was $15K — a 6.5× gap between list price and reimbursement, which is typical for Medicare inpatient claims.
