INFECTIOUS AND PARASITIC DISEASES WITH O.R. PROCEDURES WITH MCC Cost Comparison

853 (DRG)

This diagnosis-related group (DRG) code represents hospital care for patients with serious infections or parasitic diseases who required surgery in the operating room and had major complications or conditions. A patient might need this type of care if they developed a severe infection or parasitic disease that couldn't be treated with medication alone and required an operation to remove infected tissue or address complications. During their hospital stay, patients can expect surgery, close monitoring by medical staff, and treatment with antibiotics or other medications to manage the infection or parasite alongside recovery from the operation.
