An inpatient claim, grouped and pricedIllustrative data
04 · Price
Priced under IPPS, with payment range and denial risk, before submission.
An inpatient claim, grouped and priced. 1. An inpatient claim arrives through the API beside your EHR. 2. The official CMS grouper assigns the DRG, versioned by discharge date. 3. MS-DRG 291, Medicare-exact, in a few milliseconds. Deterministic every time. 4. Priced under IPPS, with payment range and denial risk, before submission. Illustrative, synthetic data.
The problem today
Revenue teams learn the payer’s answer weeks after submission. Inpatient grouping often needs yet another licensed system.
What VAERION does
The engine runs the CMS MS-DRG grouper, prices against IPPS and OPPS, and predicts payment and denial risk per line, beside your EHR.
