The converter of NHS procedures to DRG procedures v2 is a technical converter that matches previously reported overnight healthcare procedures to health insurers from healthcare providers (inpatient and overnight healthcare providers). The converter will be implemented in practice as of 1.1.2023, based on the agreement in the JHI Working Group and the approval of the Steering Committee. From 1.1.2023, there will be a change in the reporting codes in the form of DRGs of medical procedures (no other elements than the data interface, reimbursement mechanism are not changed, only the codes of the procedures are changed in the sense of the above mentioned converter).

The next phase of the update, including updates to the Coding Rules and Base Rates, will be published by the end of November.

The CKS is further issuing a call for applications for 2023 conformity certification along with details of the 2023 conformity certification process.
