    3M software also allows hospitals and other interested parties to model grouping and pricing software used by national payers. The software considers regional and hospital-specific factors such as wage areas and graduate medical education payments.

    The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Inpatient Prospective Payment System – CMS DRGs and Medicare Severity Diagnosis Related Groups (MS-DRGs) – were developed for classifying claims for Medicare patients in acute care hospitals, long-term care hospitals (LTCHs) and inpatient psychiatric facilities.

    The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Outpatient Prospective Payment System – CMS Ambulatory Payment Classifications (APCs).

    The TRICARE Inpatient and Outpatient Prospective Payment System -- Developed and maintained by 3M for the Department of Defense (DoD), this system includes additional DRGs not related to the Medicare population and is used by the Department of Veterans Affairs and DoD facilities.
