Answer to Question 1

A standard grouping system is DRG (diagnosis-related group). Today, hospital reimbursement by private and government insurers is determined by diagnosis. Each patient is given a DRG classification, and a formula based on this classification determines reimbursement. If hospital care and cost exceed the prospective cost determination, the hospital absorbs the financial loss.
