You work for the local hospital, and your manager would like some clarification on diagnosis-related groups (DRGs). Discuss Medicare reimbursement in the context of DRGs for reimbursement purposes.

Be sure to address the following:

â?¢use of DRGs in both inpatient and outpatient settings
â?¢an example of a DRG
â?¢the purpose of DRG use in medical coding and billing
â?¢the relationship between DRGs and the ICD-9-CM/ICD-10 coding system
