Predetermined payment amounts are assigned to the categories. DRG\'s are now utilized by employers and insured as a cost containment technique.

  -> Harald, how likely do you think it would be for the Digital Raster Graphics to appear in the same sentence as "Brachytherapie für die Prostata"? (BTW, in this month's ATA Medical Newsletter we're publishing a list of tricky medical abbreviations).
