Predetermined payment amounts are assigned to the categories. DRG\'s are now utilized by employers and insured as a cost containment technique.

  -> Danke Jonathan!
disagree  Harald Moelzer (medical-translator): Sorry, but searching for a DRG catalog in the web gives you loads of references for the "Digital Raster Graphics (DRG) catalog". Whereas DRG classification gives you <900 public and healthcare hits (www.statistics.gov.uk/healthaccounts/ downloads/)etc.

  -> Harald, how likely do you think it would be for the Digital Raster Graphics to appear in the same sentence as "Brachytherapie für die Prostata"? (BTW, in this month's ATA Medical Newsletter we're publishing a list of tricky medical abbreviations).
