Overview:

DRGActive-APR™ is a software component for All-Patient Refined Diagnosis Related Group (APR-DRG) calculation. APR-DRGs are a generic grouper that integrates DRG refinements to provide a clinical severity and risk of mortality breakdown within each DRG. The Discharge APR-DRG is the traditional APR-DRG classification. It is based on the selected APR-DRG grouper version, uses all of the codes in the claim, and groups them for APR-DRG, Severity of Illness (SOI) and Risk of Mortality (ROM). The assignment of the discharge APR-DRG uses the diagnosis, procedures, age, sex, and discharge status fields on the standard claim form. DRGActive.Net-APR™also performs Medicare Code Editor (MCE) validation of the input data elements and reports any errors that are found.
