DRGs are used in reimbursement for health care services based on a predetermined fixed price per case or diagnosis in 468 categories. Under DRGs, each Medicare client is assigned to a diagnostic grouping based on his or her primary diagnosis at hospital admission. Medicare limits total payment to the hospital to the amount preestablished for that DRG.

ANS: C
Hospital-based utilization review nurses review medical records to determine the most appropriate DRG for clients. Financial gains can be made through careful diagnosis of clients according to their highest potential DRG classification.
