 Product Description
 
 With the implementation of ICD-10 codes in October 2015, the 2021 DRG Desk Reference gives access to crucial information to improve MS-DRG assignment practices, guidance on how to accurately assign DRGs under the MS-DRG system, and focuses on the Optimizing section of the DRG Desk Reference based on ICD-10 codes.

The DRG Desk Reference is designed to work hand-in-hand with DRG Expert and the Guide to Clinical Validation and Documentation Improvement for Coding, which is the clinical section from the DRG Desk Reference based on ICD-10 codes.
