DRG 956 Overview
DRG 956 covers inpatient cases involving limb reattachment and complex hip and femur procedures performed in the setting of multiple significant trauma. Typical cases include surgical revascularization, replantation, or extensive reconstruction when multiple body systems are injured. This Diagnosis-Related Group is resource-intensive because of operative complexity, multidisciplinary care needs, and prolonged inpatient recovery. It matters for Medicare payment because it groups high-acuity trauma procedures into a single payment category that reflects increased resource use.
