DRGs categorize patients by their diagnoses and the costs associated with treating them. Hospital DRGs are divided into two types: medical DRGs, which don't reflect operating room procedures, and surgical DRGs. Both diagnosis and procedure codes are used to determine DRG. The DRG determines the single payment the hospital will receive for treating the patient - not for each syringe, swab, X-ray image, room supply, or pill, but one cost that covers the entire care episode.
