In July 2013 Medi-Cal adopted a diagnosis-related groups (DRG) reimbursement methodology for inpatient general acute care hospitals that do not participate in certified public expenditure reimbursement. DRG is a reimbursement methodology that uses information on the claim form (including revenue codes, diagnosis and procedure codes, patient’s age, discharge status and complications) to classify the hospital stay into a group. DRG payment is determined by multiplying a specific DRG relative weight of the individual group code by a DRG hospital’s specific DRG base price, with application of adjustors and add-on payments as applicable. If a Treatment Authorization Request (TAR) has been approved by the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), DRG payment is for each admit through discharge claim.
