HOW TO PICK A VERSION
US Federal (aka CMS or HCFA) DRG versions are released in October of every year. Version 3 (the first version we support) was released in October of 1985. So if you are using calendar years, 1/1/2001 - 9/30/2001 would be covered by version 18 and 10/1/2001 through 9/30/2002 would be covered by version 19. And so on.

CGI-DRG DEMO: TRY BEFORE YOU BUY
Take out Web-based (CGI) grouper out for spin: we have put up our latest CGI grouper on the web so you can try it out. Note that the HTML this program produces is deliberately barebones, so that it can be processed by just about any browsers. Hooks for using local stylesheets are available, so that CGI-DRG's output would better match your site.

HOW TO PICK A PRODUCT
All of our grouper products do essentially the same thing: they assign a DRG to an inpatient medical encounter. What varies across the product line is the platform, the packaging and the extra features.
  • If you are looking for a one-time assignment of DRGs to a particular data set, you should probably use our DRG Assignment Service).

  • Data analysts tend to purchase one of our batch grouping products. These products allow an entire data set to be grouped.

  • Programmers who need to provide grouping as part of their in-house applications usually want to buy one of our program-callable modules. (Programmers who want to develop commercial applications which feature grouping by our grouper need to arrange for a reseller's license.)
