quickly calculate the DRG based on ICD-9 vol 1 and ICD-9 vol 3 codes
The DRG-Grouper is used to calculate payments to cover operating costs for inpatient hospital stays. Under the inpatient prospective payment system (IPPS) each individual case is categorized into a diagnosis related group – DRG. Payment weights are assigned to each DRG based on average resources used to treat Medicare patients in that DRG.
