DRG Coding Services Overview
Simplify Inpatient Billing with Accuracy
At MediBill RCM, we provide precise DRG coding services to help healthcare providers optimize their inpatient billing processes. Our experts ensure compliance with coding guidelines while focusing on accurate classification of patient cases for maximum reimbursements.
What is DRG Coding?
Diagnosis-Related Groups (DRG) coding is a system used primarily for inpatient services to classify hospital cases into groups based on:
- Diagnosis: Primary and secondary conditions.
- Procedures: Treatments and surgeries performed.
- Patient Characteristics: Age, sex, and discharge status.
Hospitals and healthcare facilities use DRG coding to determine reimbursements under the Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS), ensuring fair and efficient payment processes.
