Answer to Question 1

LTC-DRGs differ from inpatient DRGs in relative weights and in their associated lengths of stay. LTC-DRGs also are similar to inpatient DRGs in that they are based on the patient's principal diagnosis, additional diagnoses, procedures performed during the stay, age, sex, and discharge status.

Answer to Question 2

Pass-through payments are additional payments to cover the costs of innovative medical devices, drugs, and biologicals.
