Problem: After reviewing all 53 cases in MS-DRG 304 - Hypertension with MCC, you determine that 46 of them have the same error. Correcting the errors results in reassignment of those cases to a different MS-DRG. Calculate the impact this has on reimbursement by determining the relative weight of the two MS-DRGs (304 and your new MS-DRG) and performing the calculations to determine the reimbursement difference.
