Overview Valid Values Related Rules Related DQ Measures Other Instances
Definition The relative weight for the DRG on the claim. Each year CMS assigns a relative weight to each DRG. These weights indicate the relative costs for treating patients during the prior year. The national average charge for each DRG is compared to the overall average. This ratio is published annually in the Federal Register for each DRG. A DRG with a weight of 2.0000 means that charges were historically twice the average; a DRG with a weight of 0.5000 was half the average. This data element in T-MSIS is expected to capture the relative weight of the DRG in the state's system regardless of which DRG system the state uses.
