Inpatient Hospital Charges

Claims for inpatient hospital stays are paid according to a payment system based on diagnosis related groups (DRGs). DRG is a system of classifying an inpatient stay based on the patient’s diagnosis, medical condition and any procedures performed.  Payments are hospital-specific to account for factors such as rural/urban, number of indigent patients, teaching hospital, etc.
