Abstract
Objectives: To demonstrate the repercussions for Psychosomatic and Psychotherapeutic Medicine of the politically motivated decision to introduce case mix funding for inpatient treatment in Germany. Methods: Description of the development of an appropriate code list of procedures for Psychosomatic and Psychotherapeutic Medicine within the DRG-System. Results: The code list OPS-301 which was valid in 2001 had no appropriate procedures for Psychosomatic and Psychotherapeutic Medicine. The scientific societies therefore had to develop possibilities for coding psychosomatic-psychotherapeutic procedures in the new OPS-301 2.1 which is valid since January 2002. This was achieved through the formulation of so-called complex codes, which are presented together with first coding tips. Conclusions: There are further tasks with risks and potential benefits which have to be accomplished after establishing these complex codes.
