DRG 113 Overview
DRG 113 covers inpatient hospital admissions for orbital procedures performed in the presence of a Complication or Comorbidity or Major Complication or Comorbidity. Clinical cases include surgical management of orbital fractures, decompression, tumor excision, or other operative orbital interventions when accompanied by significant secondary diagnoses. This group matters for Medicare payment because the presence of Complication or Comorbidity or Major Complication or Comorbidity elevates the relative resource use and therefore affects the Diagnosis-Related Group assignment and associated inpatient reimbursement. Understanding the clinical scope and coding implications helps clarify how case complexity maps to payment under Medicare rules.
