2026 DRG tariffs published in France

On January 14, 2026, the Ministry of Health, Family, Autonomy and People with Disability published the Order setting DRG tariffs and tariffs for other packages and supplements for 2026. New tariffs are in force from January 1, 2026. The Agency for Technical Hospital Information (ATIH) also published the 2026 tariffs in Excel and other formats.

In 2026, specific higher tariffs are introduced for several procedures. One illustrative example is transrectal high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) destruction of prostate lesions:

• This financing mechanism was established by the recent update of the Benefit Order, which differentiated homogeneous groups of stays (GHS) within the DRG root 12C04 "Transurethral prostatectomy" based on the performance of HIFU destruction of prostate lesions;
• When the procedure described with CCAM code JGND858 ("Destruction of prostate lesion by high-intensity focused ultrasound [HIFU], transrectally with ultrasound guidance") is performed, the hospital stay is allocated to one of the specific GHSs with higher tariffs;
• For example, in the public sector, transrectal HIFU destruction of prostate lesions performed in hospital settings without complications will be reimbursed under GHS 8941 (€7,763) instead of GHS 4518 (€2,570);
• Previously, the HIFU destruction of prostate lesions was covered under the Forfait Innovation scheme.

The 2026 Tariff Order also contains several updates in the field of organ perfusion technologies, including the implementation of a specific tariff for the utilization of cardiac graft perfusion machines within the Annual Grant for Transplants (Forfait Annuel Greffes, FAG).
