All open gaps on this encounter together: MS-DRG 193 → 193 (RW +0.0000). The grouping does not change; the record becomes accurate.

CC/MCC status, CC exclusions (subset) and relative weights from the public CMS FY2026 IPPS final rule tables (5, 6I, 6J, 6K). This is not a grouper and not a payment estimate. Queries never mention any of this.
