All possible principal diagnoses are divided into twenty-five mutually exclusive Major Diagnostic Codes (MDCs) based on single organ systems and specialties. Together, these MDCs contain about 500 DRGs, classified according to diagnoses and the employment of similar hospital resources. The MDCs were designed to help with Medicare payments.
