Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inpatient coders require education and updates twice a year due to the April 1 and October 1 changes to the Diagnosis-Related Group (DRG) system. These changes affect the reimbursement rates for inpatient stays and must be understood and correctly coded for by inpatient coders. Therefore, April 1 and October 1 are critical dates for their ongoing education.
