description Under the diagnosis related groups (DRG) medical insurance system, medical institutions are in a dominant position in the control of healthcare information, providing them with opportunities to maximize their benefits. Consequently, numerous ethical risks arise, posing significant challenges to reform efforts. By summarizing the types and specific manifestations of medical ethical risks, this paper analyzes the causes of behavior motivation from both macro-policy and micro-institutional perspectives. The study believes that the ethical risks stem from inadequate macro-level policy regulation and the short-sighted management regarding the conflict between economic expansion and public welfare under micro-level institutional frameworks. Risk behaviors result from ineffective transmission of incentive mechanisms under DRG-based payment and the misinterpretation of cost incentives by medical institutions, leading to behavioral distortions that fulfill both economic and social interests. To address these issues, the study proposes establishing an early warning system for payment weight fluctuations to raise the ethical risk entry threshold and introducing AI-assisted coding to tighten risk pathways.
