Payment Grouper
This grouper should be used to group data and derive HRGs, support data quality, conduct what-if-modelling, and assess local reimbursement that will be received under PbR for the 2011/12 financial year.
The Local Payment grouper should be used in conjunction with the Guide to File Preparation, which explains how data should be sorted and presented for processing by the Grouper. This, and other useful guidance documents, can be downloaded from the documentation downloads page for this grouper. Any feedback will be gratefully appreciated.
The HRG4 2011/12 Local Payment Grouper continues to support the latest table of coding equivalence (TOCE), which maps the OPCS-4.6 codes introduced from April 2011 to their equivalent codes in OPCS-4.4, on which the HRG4 2011/12 Local Payment design is based.
As with previous releases, the local Grouper does not apply PbR business rules, including provider eligibility for Specialised Service Code derivation. Activities relating to Treatment Function Code or other pre-processing exclusions should therefore be removed from the input data prior to running through the local Grouper. As HRG exclusions are at spell level, and the HRG4 Grouper produces both episode and spell-level HRGs during the same run, HRG exclusions should be made at spell level following grouping. There is no requirement to group data twice. Those organisations that choose not to remove exclusion data may generate HRGs for data that are excluded from national tariff under PbR funding policy.
Please note:
• In particular we would advise that the HRG4 Summary of Changes document is read before using the grouper due to changes made since last year.
• Data for local reimbursement calculations for the 2010/11 financial year are still to be processed using HRG4 2010/11 Local Payment Grouper
• Although appropriate output files are produced, there is no reporting feature in any of the Payment suite of HRG4 groupers

HRG4 2008/09 Reference Costs Grouper v4.2.2 Released - from the information centre NHS
The HRG4 Reference Costs Grouper 2008/09 has now been re-released. It should be used to process data and produce HRG4 grouper output for the Reference Costs for the 2008/09 financial year..
The version released on 13/02/09 (identified by the filename Grouper_0809RC8.zip, and version 4.2.1 within the Help > About screen of the application) was missing the per diem unbundling multiplier in the flat episode output (documented as Known Issue 3).
As a response to our users we have now resolved this issue. Regression testing confirms that this output change does not affect the HRGs produced by the algorithm.It is recommended that all users download and install the updated version of the Grouper, identified by the filename Grouper_0809RC9.zip, and version 4.2.2 within the Help > About screen of the application.
Users that wish to ascertain which version they have installed can check the name of the .exe file downloaded or the version number within the Help > About screen of the application.
For queries about HRG4 or the grouper, please call The NHS IC's Contact Centre on 0845 300 6016 or e-mail
