AB  - One year after the obligatory implementation of a new hospital funding system 
      based on Diagnosis Related Groups (DRG) the third version of a German DRG-system 
      has been published. It differs significantly from the previous version. 
      Modifications in the classification system and the introduction of further 
      procedure-based payments contribute to a better depiction of specialized clinical 
      services. A number of acknowledged problems which caused great discussion in 2004 
      have been solved, yielding a more appropriate mapping of clinical services. The 
      algorithms of the major diagnostic categories have been modified and 
      complications, comorbidities and/or multiple procedures will be considered more 
      precisely in selecting a group. However, some inconsistencies concerning highly 
      specialized medical procedures and special features of impatient dermatological 
      care remain. Nevertheless, a great improvement over the previous versions is 
      apparent. The crucial aspects of the G-DRG version 2005 and the accompanying 
      rules and regulations of payment are reviewed in detail with special relevance to 
      dermatology.
