Physician-Led DRG Validation

Led by clinical expertise, powered by data integration

Physician-led clinical DRG reviews are an important part of the mid revenue cycle to ensure revenue integrity and relay high-quality care in public reporting. Physicians must document effectively to accurately reflect the patient population in claims data. Otherwise, hospitals risk commercial payor denials, inaccurate reimbursement and poor public perception.
