Specific DRG CC/MCC Capture Rates

Can anyone direct me to a 'benchmark' for CC/MCC capture rates for specific DRGs? We currently have a low surgical CC/MCC capture rate and after auditing charts, we cannot identfiy that we are missing many CC/MCCs to explain our rate. We would like to see if we can contribute our low rates to our population of patients and/or type of surgeries we do using other's findings. For instance, our capture rate for DRG 470 major joint replacement or reattachement of lower extremity w/o MCC is extremely high to DRG 469 with a MCC. I would appreciate any leads!

Thanks
