Last year, when you were hired as the HIM director at a small community hospital, the CEO wanted you to focus on increasing the case mix index. The hospital base rate is $7,862. At the time you came on board, there were three coders, only one of whom was a certified coding specialist (CCS). You began by reviewing the number of MS-DRGs submitted over the past year. The MS-DRG that jumped out was MS-DRG 304, which is hypertension with an MCC. There were 53 submissions of this MS-DRG. As you reviewed the data for 10 of those submissions, you began to notice a trend. Evaluate the data below to identify the issue Chart Codes submitted
1 I10, J44.9, N18.6, E11.9
2 I10, N18.6, E10.9, E03.9, G47.33
3 I10, G20, I25.10, N18.5
4 I10, F17.210, I70.213, N18.6, E11.9
5 I10, N18.6, I25.5, I25.10
6 I10, E08.22, N18.6
7 I10, E66.01, E03.9, N18.6, F17.210
8 I10, E87.6, J45.909, N18.6
9 I10, E11.9, E66.9, E78.5, N18.5
10 I10, I25.10, N18.6, R33.9, N18.6, E10.9
Continue using the same information from above
After review of all 53 cases in MS-DRG 304, you determined that 46 of them had the same error.
Correcting the errors results in reassignment of those cases to a different MS-DRG. Calculate the impact this has on reimbursement by determining the relative weight of the two MS-DRGs and performing the calculations to determine the reimbursement difference.

Aprice ceiling is “binding” if the price ceiling is set below the equilibrium price. suppose that the equilibrium price is $5. if a price ceiling is set at $6, this will not affect the market in any way since $5 remains a legally allowable price (since $5 < $6). a price ceiling of $6 is called a “non-binding” price ceiling. on the other hand, if the price ceiling is set at $4, the price ceiling is “binding” because the natural equilibrium price is $5 but that is no longer allowed. what happens when there is a binding price ceiling? at a price below the equilibrium price, quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied. there is a shortage. normally, price increases eliminate shortages by increasing quantity supplied and decreasing quantity demanded. in this case, however, price increases are not allowed past the price ceiling. we therefore predict that the observed market price will be right at the price ceiling and there will be a permanent shortage. the observed quantity bought and sold will be dictated by the quantity supplied at the price ceiling. although consumers would like to buy more, there are no more units for sale
