Diagnosis Related Groups
Definition
- Diagnosis Related Groups (DRGs) is a system that is used as a part of prospective payment to group cases of patients into more than 500 categories according to similar hospital resource use. DRGs have been used since 1983 by the nation's Medicare program to determine the level of payment to a hospital since patients who are grouped together under the same DRG code are expected to use approximately the same amount of resources.
