DRG are used by medicare to pay the inpatient stays, outpatient er visits and surgery are paid by a different method, DRG’s are based on the diagnoses codes. sorry for being technical but that is how medicare is currently setup to pay, blame HHS

I am just pointing out that DRGs were never intended for billing purposes and do not reflect costs in any rational way.

But that's what the goobermint uses them for, because the last thing goobermint ever wants to be is honest, about anything.
