Case Mix processing takes detailed patient transactions from patient billing when the final bill is produced and matches it with procedure costs determined in the cost accounting system to generate the cost of a specific patient. Reports are produced which can be summarized by DRG, doctor, financial class, etc.
The charges for all patients that have been final billed are downloaded from your patient billing system to the PC. Demographic information such as patient name, discharge date, DRG, physician, etc., and reimbursement data (if available) are also captured at this time.
Total costs and revenue are calculated for each charge item.
These costs are summarized and reported by patient and procedure
group (user defined).
