What is MS-DRG?

MS-DRG stands for Medicare Severity Diagnosis Related Groups. It's a patient classification system adopted by Medicare designed to standardize prospective payment to hospitals. MS-DRGs classify patients into groups based on their principal diagnosis, surgical procedure, age, sex, and the presence of complications or comorbidities. This system is commonly used for determining how much Medicare reimburses hospitals for inpatient services, aiming for fair and consistent payments based on patient complexity and resource utilization.
