Medicare Severity Diagnosis Related Groups (MS-DRGs) are used to calculate amount for inpatient hospital claims.All Patient Refined Diagnosis Related Groups (APR DRG) is used to classify patient according to the reason for admission,severity of illness etc.

The all patient refined DRGs include minor,major,,moderate and extreme severity of illness.MS DRGS in health care give accurate diagnosis.Many state Medicaid agencies pay for inpatient admission by MS-DRG system.MS-DRGs monitor how sick patients are;an individual can be sick and die quickely but will not be expensive .some neonatal and obstetric condition that make MS DRG no longer affect payement in APR DRG system.similarly several other diagnosis that have no effect on APR system.coders should evaluate billing process.if billing is not done at time with identification number,payement can be delayed .
