IP DRG coding is a critical component of hospital coding, specifically related to inpatient services. Diagnosis Related Groups (DRGs) are a classification system that groups patients with similar clinical conditions and resource utilization patterns. IP DRG coding involves assigning the appropriate DRG codes to accurately represent the diagnoses and procedures associated with each inpatient stay.
