What Does DRG Stand For?
DRG stands for Diagnosis Related Group
Diagnosis Related Group (DRG) is a classification system used in healthcare to categorize hospital cases into groups that are expected to have similar hospital resource use. DRGs are primarily utilized for reimbursement purposes in Medicare and other health insurance programs, providing a standardized way to assess the cost of care associated with specific diagnoses and treatments. By grouping cases based on clinical characteristics and resource consumption, DRGs facilitate effective management of healthcare costs and improve the efficiency of hospital operations.
