The institute supports the hospitals and health insurances as well as their associations with the legally prescribed introduction and continuous further development of the G-DRG system according to § 17b KHG for the billing of inpatient hospital services by the GKV Modernization Act .

The institute is involved in the development of the flat-rate remuneration system in psychiatry and psychosomatics .

Fields of activity

financing

The InEK is financed by the so-called DRG system surcharge. For each inpatient case, the hospitals charge a new amount to be determined each year (2009: € 1.03, 2010: € 0.99). The total amount collected is then transferred once a year by the individual hospitals to the InEK.

Approx. 1/3 of the DRG system surcharge is retained to finance the institute, approx. 2/3 is distributed to the hospitals that take part in the calculation of the DRG relative weights.
