What is a DRG?

A Diagnosis-Related Group (DRG) is how Medicare pays hospitals for inpatient stays. Each admission is assigned a DRG based on diagnosis, procedures performed, and complications. The payment is a fixed amount per DRG regardless of how many days the patient stays. MCC (Major Complication/Comorbidity) pays the most; CC (Complication/Comorbidity) pays a mid-range; and without CC/MCC pays the least for the same procedure.

What is a J-Code?

J-codes are HCPCS codes for drugs administered by a healthcare provider — infusions, injections, and chemotherapy agents billed on the medical side of your plan (not through the pharmacy benefit). Medicare reimburses these at ASP + 6% (Average Sales Price plus a 6% margin). Hospitals often bill 3–5x this amount because there’s no pharmacy benefit manager checking the price.
