Where Is DRG Algorithm?

QUESTION

On your page at http://www.drggroupers.com/drgs.html you mention that the CMS DRG grouping algorithm is public.  I assume the same is true for the APC grouping algorithm.  How can one find or purchase a description of the algorithm (human readable)?
ANSWER

The CMS DRG grouping algorithm is available from 3M. We don't deal with APC DRGs, so we cannot help you there.
