Preferred term
prospective payment system
Definition
- In 1983, the U.S. federal government initiated a new method of payment for Medicare hospital services. The prospective payment system (PPS) created a reimbursement mechanism in which scientifically clustered diagnoses known as diagnosis-related groups (DRGs) would have predetermined compensation amounts, regardless of the hospitals' actual costs.
