SR-DRG – Severity-Refined Diagnosis Related Groups

1

 

HCFA-DRG refinement

The SRDRG system is a refinement of the HCFA-DRG system. It uses three, instead of two severity levels. The new system was developed by 3M, as commissioned by HCFA.

Test system

A first draft was presented in 1994. It contained 652 SR-DRGs. It never got to be used, though, because unacceptable redeployments in payments of hospitals were feared.

Implemented as MS-DRG

Later, the SRDRG system was recast with up-to-date data as MSDRG system. It is in use since 2007/08 for Medicare payments.
