Lymphoma and Non-Acute Leukemia with Other Procedures without CC/MCC: Inpatient Reimbursement Overview
DRG 825 includes admissions for lymphoma and non-acute leukemia with other procedures when no Complication or Comorbidity or Major Complication or Comorbidity is present; it addresses cases with operative intervention but lower documented clinical severity. This grouping matters for inpatient reimbursement because it assigns the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services payment relative to expected resource use for these moderate-severity surgical admissions.

DRG 825 Overview
DRG 825 covers inpatient admissions for patients with lymphoma and non-acute leukemia who undergo other procedures without a Complication or Comorbidity or Major Complication or Comorbidity. This category groups cases where the principal diagnosis is a lymphoid malignancy and a secondary operative procedure is performed that does not meet higher-severity grouping criteria. It matters for Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services payment because it defines a specific payment weight reflecting average resource use for these less complex procedural admissions. Accurate coding of diagnoses and procedures determines inclusion in this Diagnosis-Related Group and affects Medicare inpatient reimbursement.
