In the German health system the payment of a hospital stay is standardised. The common basis is the G-
DRG
System (German diagnosis-related groups) in which every stay is paid by a lump sum.

correction in our times means pedicle screw-based multilevel double rod instrumentation or anterior plate-rod instrumentation with primary stability. The outcome of those methods has improved the results of correction and decreased the complication rate but also means high costs due to the implants.
Scoliosis
correction is covered by
DRG
I06. Due to constant efforts a general improvement took place in the assessment of
DRG
I06. That is the reason why the losses incurred in
DRG
I06C could be lowered to 38% and in I06D to 22% in 2008. For an appropriate assessment further improvements are required.
