The application window for 2024 DRG changes is open in Denmark

Oct 2022

In mid-September 2022, the Danish Health Data Agency (Sundhedsdatastyrelsen) opened the application period for 2024 DRG grouping logic changes. The deadline for the submission of the applications is November 11, 2022.

The applications should be developed using the application forms provided on the Danish Health Data Agency website and submitted via email (kliniskvalidering@sundhedsdata.dk). There are separate application forms to propose the change, removal, or addition of a new DRG.

Applications can be sent by Regions, hospital boards, directors of hospitals, directors of clinics, clinical associations, clinicians, or clinician's secretaries.

Once a proposal has been processed by the Danish Health Data Agency, the proposer receives written feedback, and the proposals made are published on the Danish Health Data Agency website with comments and status.

The full details in Danish can be found here.
