PATIENT ACCOUNTS – REIMBURSEMENT TYPE

Q5. Was the facility reimbursed for this stay on a fee-for-service basis or a capitated basis?

EXPLAIN IF NECESSARY:

Fee-for-service means that the practice was reimbursed on the basis of the services provided.

Capitated basis means that the patient was enrolled in a prepaid managed care plan, such as an HMO, and reimbursement to the facility was not based on the services provided. This is also called Per Member Per Month

IF IN DOUBT, CODE FEE-FOR-SERVICE

  1. FEE-FOR-SERVICE BASIS (1)
  2. CAPITATED BASIS. (2 - go to Q21a)
IF Q5=1 GO TO Q6_1

PATIENT ACCOUNTS – SERVICES/CHARGES

Q6_1. Did [PATIENT] have any health-related ancillary charges for this stay? That is, were there any charges for additional services not included in the basic rate?

Q6. What was the full established charge for room, board, and basic care for this stay, before any adjustments or discounts, between (ADMIT DATE) and (DISCHARGE DATE/END OF 2020)?

EXPLAIN IF NECESSARY: The full established charge is the charge maintained in the facility's master fee schedule for billing private pay patients. It is the "list price" for the service, before consideration of any discounts or adjustments resulting from contractual arrangements or agreements with insurance plans.

IF NO CHARGE: Some facilities that don't charge for each individual service do associate dollar amounts with services in their records for purposes of budgeting or cost analysis. This kind of information is sometimes called a "charge equivalent". Could you give me the charge equivalent for this stay?

NOTE: WE NEVER ENTER $0 FOR A CHARGE
