APR or MS DRGs?

QUESTION

what version of DRGs are being used in your batch filter program APR or MS ?

ANSWER

We support only the US Federal DRG assignment algorithm. This algorithm is also called the "MS DRGs" (Medicare & Medicaid Services) and the "CMS DRGs" (Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services).

We used to support New York state DRGs and a few others, but we got out of that business a while ago.

APR (All Payor, Refined) DRGs are a 3M thing and you find more information on their web site:
