APR DRG Diagnosis List?

Florida has been under APR DRGs w/M'Caid patients as of July 1st 2013. We've had "some" training in APR DRGs but admittingly I do not have the certainty w/them as I do MS DRGs. I'm always surprised at what diagnoses will increase the SOI/ROM when I roll them through the 3M APR DRG Detail. (We actually have Nuance Clintegrity - Quadramed)

Does anyone have a list of Diagnoses/Procedures to look for when reviewing for APR DRGs? Would be nice if it were broken into body systems.

Our vendor was supposed to put one together for us but I've not heard back from them - and I've sent reminders.

I would be grateful for any assistance.

Thanks,

Norma T. Brunson, BS, RHIA, CDIP, CCS, CCDS

    I am happy to see this topic come up and interested too. We currently do not the APR DRG, and I am interested to hear any advantages you all may know of to convince my boss to spring for it.
    Happy Friday!
