Context-Grouper

 

Check the case before you admit it as an inpatient!

Check for context factors PLUS output of billable GOPs or MBEGs

Functions of the Context-Grouper

Many hospitals are confronted with the question of whether a patient case can be admitted as an inpatient or treated as an outpatient. The context grouper answers this question in a matter of seconds!

The query is carried out in two steps. First, the planned or current main procedure is entered and a check is made as to whether there is a reference to the following catalogs:

  • AOP according to § 115b SGB V
  • Hybrid-DRG according to § 115f SGB V

In a further step, an extended input screen opens if the service is related to the AOP or Hybrid-DRG catalog. Other relevant factors such as diagnoses, accompanying procedures, degree of care, patient age etc. can be entered.

The context grouper checks your planned or acute interventions for the presence of context factors and thus helps with correct allocation to outpatient or inpatient treatment.

The Context-Grouper responds with a total of four possible scenarios. This gives you the greatest possible certainty when assigning the case to the inpatient or outpatient area.

  • If the case has no context factors, you will receive all billable GOP codes for your billing!
  • If the case has soft context factors, you will receive the corresponding MBEGs for your billing!

 

Scenario 1

The case has hard context factors

➔ We show you what these are!

Scenario 2

The case has soft context factors

➔ You receive the MBEGs!

Scenario 3

The case has no context factors

➔ Transfer to the EBM Grouper!
