DRG practice enforced at hospitals

12:45, 01.11.2022

The diagnosis-related group (DRG) strategy is now mandated in hospitals.

According to the Georgian Health Ministry, the new approach will ban clinics from charging additional out-of-pocket expenses for medical services other than those specified. The reasonable cost of various services will be computed automatically.

The new method aims to make medical services accessible and improve the health system’s efficiency. The co-financing share by the state from 0 to 30% will be envisaged as per the health insurance packages.
