  DRG (Diagnosis Related Group) discount is a feature of the IS-H SAP for Healthcare module. It allows healthcare providers to offer discounts to patients based on their diagnosis. The discounts are calculated based on the DRG code assigned to the patient's diagnosis. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use the DRG discount feature, healthcare providers must first assign a DRG code to each patient's diagnosis. This code is then used to calculate the discount that will be applied to the patient's bill. The discount amount can be adjusted by the provider as needed. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to ensure that the DRG code assigned to each patient's diagnosis is accurate in order for the discount calculation to be accurate. Additionally, it is important to keep track of any changes in the DRG codes over time in order to ensure that the discounts are up-to-date.
