[quote=Anonymous]DRG means diagnosis related group. Under traditional Medicare, a hospital is paid based on a DRG. So if a patient is discharged earlier than expected for this Sarah, the hospital makes money. If the patient is discharged on time, the hospital breaks even. If the patient is discharged later than expected, the hospital loses money. This led to pushing patients out early. To combat this, a provision was added that is a patient was readmitted within a certain short period after discharge, the hospital got no further pay. I don’t know if this applies to your situation. I’d contact billing. Problem is that not being the patient it can be hard to get them to talk to you. [/quote]
