About DRGs
A Medicare Severity-Diagnosis Related Group (MS-DRG) classifies a complete inpatient hospital stay by clinical category. Hospitals publish gross charges per DRG under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule, but actual cost depends on insurance: insurers negotiate substantial discounts, Medicare and Medicaid pay fixed rates, and uninsured patients can often qualify for cash-pay discounts. The gross charge is a useful benchmark for comparing hospitals — a facility that lists a procedure at twice the price of another tends to charge higher rates across the board, both to insurers and to self-pay patients.
Major Diagnostic Categories (MDCs) group DRGs into 25 body-system sections, mirroring the structure of clinical practice. CareRanks organizes procedure pages by MDC so you can browse related conditions and surgeries together.
