Diagnostic Related Groups (DRG)

A Diagnostic Related Group (DRG) is a way of classifying conditions and services into payment categories. Patient services are bundled into condition categories based upon diagnosis, typical procedures performed, gender, age and your anticipated location or status when you are ready to be discharged. Medicare and other insurance companies sure use DRG’s to determine how much to pay for a patient’s hospital stay.

Lawrence General Hospital has provided our most common diagnostic related groups. Our DRG file is for informational use and should not be used to estimate the cost of your care. For help anticipating the cost of an upcoming hospital stay, please contact our cost estimation hotline at 978-683-4000, extension 3367 or email us at costestimator@lawrencegeneral.org.
