The correct diagnosis-related group is essential to receive payment from Medicare. Additionally, there must be documentation that the appropriate care was given for the healthcare provider to receive payment. There is no requirement for an evaluation of quality of care, a discussion of the pathophysiology, or permission for use of data in governmental research.
