If you want to loop through a data set and assign a DRG to each record, then you need one of our batch groupers: DRGFilt or MHDRG DLL.
 
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.

DRGFILT
DRGFilt is a console application and a UNIX-style "filter." This means that it reads from its standard input and writes to its standard output. DRGFilt respects a "control file" which tells it how to pick out its input fields from each record and were to put its output fields into each record. Typically, you assign DRGs to an entire data set with the following steps:
  1. Export your data from your database into an ASCII text file
  2. Create a DRGFilt control file to match your data
  3. Run DRGFilt on your ASCII text file, which produces a new ASCII text file
  4. Input the new ASCII text file into your database
There is more detailed information about using DRGFilt on our technical support page.

Excel-DRG is a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet which calls our Grouper DLL to assign DRGs to its rows.
Included in the Excel-DRG purchase price is

If you want to interactively group records and then store the results, look at Access-DRG.

MAY WE TAKE YOUR ORDER?
As of October, 2009, we have a shiny new on-line shopping cart. We strongly recommend that you use it, if you can. You can use the shopping cart by clicking on the big blue buttons above.
If you use the on-line shopping cart, you get your software immediately and directly.
If you do not use the shopping cart, your order will have to be filled manually, which takes time, and will be emailed to you, which often leads to interference by spam filters and firewalls.
You can use the on-line shopping cart if you have a company credit card; we use Paypal to process on-line purchases, but Paypay does not require you to have or use a Paypal account.
If your company works on a purchase order basis, you may want to fax us a purchase order to (203) 481-4898, containing the same product information as the form below. If you would like to order on-line, but are sure that you cannot use our on-line shopping cart, please fill in the form below and submit it.
(If you are reading the PDF version of this document, then please consider copying the form and pasting it into a email or printing it out and faxing it or mailing it.)
