COST BASED FEES

 

INTRODUCTION

 

Federal regulations require that each family planning project have a schedule of fees for the services it provides.  You must develop realistic fees which reflect the cost of operation, yet are competitive to the local market.  There must be a corresponding schedule of discounts which will be used by individuals based on their ability to pay.

 

It is now necessary for family planning providers to concentrate on management plans which will provide them with the information to develop, implement and analyze their efficiency, thus controlling costs.  Only agencies with a sound financial management plan will remain financially viable.

 

The object of this manual is to help you determine the cost of providing services and setting the fees to be charged using Bureau of Community Health Services Common Reporting Requirements (BCRR) data with some modifications and utilization data provided by your CVR's.

 

Costs will come from using the financial information you reported in the various cost centers of your BCRR, Table 6, Column g.  We would suggest completing the expense allocations pages to check the accuracy of your allocations on the BCRR and to insure accurate fees.

 

Utilization figures must be collected over the same period as the reported costs.  Specific procedure data, not encounter data, must be used, since the purpose is to derive a cost per procedure.  An actual count of your procedures over a specific time period may be obtained from your population profile as reported from your CVR's or you may use a daily log of clinic activity.

 

APPROACH

 

Rates charged for each service should reflect both direct and indirect costs.  Direct costs include expenses associated with providing patient care (i.e., physician, nursing, supplies, etc.) plus an amount of overhead or indirect costs which are expended to support direct patient care (i.e., administration, housekeeping, rent, etc.).  In order to arrive at a true cost you must include the value of donated goods and services.  You have allocated your overhead or indirect costs to the various cost centers on Table 6, worksheets A and B (administration, facility costs and fringe benefits) so that the amount on Table 6, column g in each cost center represents your total costs.  Examples of administrative and facility costs are Attachment A.

 

There are seven steps in the development of cost based fee:

 

1.         Identify the functional cost centers.

 

2.         Identify services provided in each cost center.

 

3.         Collect utilization data on services provided.

 

4.         Collect direct cost data for each functional cost center.

 

5.         Allocate overhead costs to functional cost centers.

 

6.         Determine total units of service provided.

 

7.         Determine cost of each service.

 

FUNCTIONAL AREAS

 

The health care functional areas within a family planning program represent a separation of functions within the program.  A typical family planning program will provide services within four functional areas:

 

A.        MEDICAL (CLINIC) OPERATIONS

Medical services delivered in providing a family planning method of a patient, and the diagnosis and treatment of related problems; excludes x-ray, laboratory and pharmacy services.

 

B.        LABORATORY

Laboratory services provided by the family planning program including specimen collection and preparation for referral to outside laboratories.

 

C.        PHARMACY

Services provided in the dispensing of contraceptives and medications to the family planning patient.

 

D.        HEALTH EDUCATION/COUNSELING

Services provided to the client or prospective client for family planning related problem resolution or information.  Includes tubal ligation counseling, fertility awareness and similar services.

 

DETERMINATION OF COST PER PROCEDURE

 

The purpose of this step is to distribute health care costs to particular procedures to derive the unit cost of each procedure.  The cost per procedure should be computed for all procedures.  The cost per procedure information is useful for managers in establishing charges and for analyzing the benefit of continuing to provide specific services.  There may be some cases in which the cost per procedure requires a charge so far above the competitive rate (what other providers in the area would charge for that service) that the charge is prohibitive.  This should be a signal to management that steps must be taken to lower costs in the future or consideration should be given to phasing out that service and making alternative arrangements.

 

In order to determine the cost you must define the specific procedures performed in each cost center and determine how many times or frequency the procedure is performed.  We have assigned relative values to procedures.

 

Prepare a Cost of Service/Fee Determination Worksheet for each cost center.  See Attachment B, C, D and E.

 

MEDICAL COST CENTER

Attachment B

1.

Column A

List procedure

2.

Column B

List Service Utilization/Frequency of Procedure.

3.

Column C

List Relative Value for Procedure.

4.

Column D

Column B X Column C. Total Column D.

5.

Column E

Cost center amount from BCRR Table 6, Column G, line 1.

6.

Column F

Total Column E divided by total Column D. This gives you your average cost/service unit which is listed for each line item.

7.

Column G

The dollar amount in Column F times each RVS of Column C. This amount represents the cost for each specific service.

8.

Column H

Cost of living allowance (COLA). Use the most recent consumer price index provided by IDPH.

9.

Column I

Adjusted cost equal's cost/service in Column G times Column H, cost of living allowance (COLA) % plus 100%.

 

 

 

Example:

 

 

 

$10.00 X 105% = $10.50

10.

Column J

The full fee to be charged and should approximate Column K. For convenience round up to nearest dollar.

 

LABORATORY COST CENTER

Attachment C

1.

Column A

List lab services provided.

4.

Column D

 

Column B X Column C. Total Column D.

5.

Column E

Cost center amount from BCRR Table 6, Column G, line 2, minus the cost of PURCHASED OUTSIDE LABORATORY TESTS equals adjusted total cost/cost center. OUTSIDE LABORATORY TESTS ARE THOSE TESTS NOT PERFORMED BY THE AGENCY. This does not include collection of specimens.

6.

Column F

Total adjusted cost center, Column E, divided by total service units, Column D, equals Column F, the average cost/service unit.

7.

Column G

Adjusted cost/service equals the dollar amount in Column F times each relative value of Column C. This amount represents the cost for each specific service. Column F X Column C.

8.

Column H

Enter the per unit purchase expense of OUTSIDE LABORATORY TESTS on the appropriate line or lines. This additional purchase expense applies only to designated tests. For nondesignated test, Column H equals ZERO.

9.

Column I

Total base cost equals adjusted cost/service plus per unit purchase expenses. Column G + Column H.

10.

Column J

Cost of living allowance (COLA). Use the most recent consumer price index provided by IDPH.

11.

Column K

Adjusted cost equals total base cost in Column I times Column J, cost of living allowance (COLA) % plus 100%.

 

 

 

Example:

 

 

 

$4.60 X 105% = $4.83

12.

CALCULATING THE SCHEDULE OF DISCOUNTS

 

1.

Determine the number of payment categories.

 

Example:

For the purpose of this manual, we will use a six step schedule.

 

2.

The income levels for the zero pay category will be the poverty levels published annually in the Federal Register. (See Attachment F)

 

Example:

The poverty level for a one person family is $5,980; for a two person family the poverty level is $8,020, etc.

 

3.

The income levels for the full fee will be 250% of the poverty level plus $1.00.

 

Example:

For Family Size of 1, 100% pay = $5,980 x  2.5 = t$14,950 + $1 or $14,951

 

4.

To determine the income levels between 0% pay and 250% pay, use the following formula:

 

The 250% income level minus the poverty level, divided by the number of payment categories, minus 2.

 

The result of this computation is the dollar range for each step.

 

Example:

Family Size 1 - $14,950 (full fee > 250%) minus $5,980 (0%) = $8,970 divided by 4 (6 steps–2 steps) = $2,242.50 step interval.

 

5.

The lower limit of each step is $1 more than the upper limit of the preceding step.

 

Example:

Family Size 1, upper limit of 0% pay is $5,980, lower limit of the next category (20%) is $5,981.

 

6.

The upper level for each step is computed by adding the dollar interval computed in Step 4 to the upper limit of the preceding step.

 

Example:

Family Size 1 – upper limit of 0% pay is $5,980; upper limit of the next category is $5,981 + $2,243 or $8,224. See Attachment F.

 

 

DEVELOPMENT OF A SLIDING FEE SCALE

 

Federal regulations require that we provide family planning services on a sliding fee scale to allow persons to receive services regardless of their income level and subsequent ability to pay.  Client or family income level is the determining factor for what level or percentage of the full fee a client will be charged.

 

A fee system must be developed and reevaluated at least annually after completing a cost analysis.  The sliding fee scale will be based on the most current Federal Poverty Income Guidelines (See Attachment F).  All clients must update their financial status every 12 months.

 

A sliding fee scale must be simple to be useful.  Any fee scale which is over burdensome to the cashier or person computing the fee loses its value as the time required to compute the fee increases.  Fees must be reasonable, related to cost and not provide a barrier to care.  In selecting the client fee discount categories, it is important to remember that too few categories may either classify many clients at the lower end, reducing income, or at the upper end, discouraging clients to seek care because of the cost, thereby also reducing income.  Too many categories may be difficult to implement and administer.  For the purpose of this manual, we will use a six step sliding fee scale.  See Attachment G.

DETERMINATION OF COST PER PROCEDURE

The purpose of this step is to distribute health care costs to particular procedures to derive the unit cost of each procedures. The cost per procedure should be computed for all procedures. The cost per procedure information is useful for managers in establishing charges and for analyzing the benefit of continuing to provide specific services. There may be some cases in which the cost per procedure requires a charge so far above the competitive rate (what other providers in the area would charge for that service) that the charge is prohibitive. This should be a signal to management that steps must be taken to lower costs in the future or consideration should be given to phasing out that service and making alternative arrangements.

 

In order to determine the cost you must define the specific procedures performed in each cost center and determine how many times or frequency the procedure is performed. We have assigned relative values to procedures on page 18.

 

Prepare a Cost of Service/Fee Determination Worksheet for each cost center. See Attachments

B, C, D and E.

 

MEDICAL COST CENTER

Attachment B

1.

Column A  –

List procedure.

2.

Column B  –

List Service Utilization/Frequency of Procedure.

3.

Column C  –

List Relative Value for Procedure from Page 18.

4.

Column D  –

Column B x Column C. Total Column D.

5.

Column E  –

Cost center amount from BCRR Table 6, Column G, line 1.

6.

Column F  –

Total Column E divided by total Column D. This gives you your average cost/service unit which  is listed for each line item.

 

 

 

7.

Column G  –

The dollar amount in Column F times each RVS of Column C. This amount represents the cost for each specific service.

 

 

 

8.

Column H  –

Cost of living allowance (COLA). Use the most recent consumer price index provided by IDPH.

9.

 Column I  –

Adjusted cost equals cost/service in Column G times Column H, cost of living allowance (COLA)% plus 100%.

 

Example :

 

$10.00 X 105% = $10.50

10.

Column J  –

The full fee to be charged and should approximate Column K. For convenience round up to nearest dollar.

 

LABORATORY COST CENTER

Attachment C

1.

Column A  –

List lab services provided.

2.

Column B  –

List Service Utilization/Frequency of Procedure.

3.

Column C  –

List Relative Value for Procedure from Page 18.

4.

Column D  –

Column B X Column C. Total Column D.

5.

Column E  –

Cost center amount from BCRR Table 6, Column G, line 2, minus the cost of PURCHASED OUTSIDE LABORATORY TESTS equals adjusted total cost/cost center. OUTSIDE LABORATORY TESTS ARE THOSE TESTS NOT PERFORMED BY THE AGENCY. This does not include collection of specimens.

6.

Column F  –

Total adjusted cost center, Column E, divided by total service units, Column D, equals Column F, the average cost/service unit.

7.

Column G  –

Adjusted cost/service equals the dollar amount in Column F times each relative value of Column C. This amount represents the cost for each specific service. Column F X Column C.

8.

Column H  –

Enter the per unit purchase expense of OUTSIDE LABORATORY TESTS on the appropriate line or lines. This additional purchase expense applies only to designated tests. See designated list on page 35.

 

For nondesignated test, Column H equals ZERO.

9.

Column I  –

Total base cost equals adjusted cost/service plus per unit purchase expense. Column G + Column H.

 


 

10.

Column J  –

Cost of living allowance (COLA). Use the most recent consumer price index provided by IDPH.

11.

Column K  –

Adjusted cost equals total base cost in Column I times Column J, cost of living allowance (COLA)% plus 100%.

 

Example:

 

$4.60 X 105% = $4.83

12.

Column L  –

The full fee to be charged and should approximate Column K. For convenience round up to nearest dollar.

PHARMACY COST CENTER

Attachment D

1.

Column A  –

List pharmaceuticals provided.

2.

Column B  –

List Service Utilization.

3.

Column C  –

List Relative Value for Pharmaceuticals from page 18.

4.

Column D  –

Column B X Column C. Total Column D.

5.

Column E  –

Cost center amount from BCRR Table 6, Column G, line 4, minus the cost of consumed pharmaceuticals equals adjusted total cost/cost center.

6.

Column F  –

Total adjusted cost center, Column E, divided by total service units, Column D, equals Column F, the average cost/service unit.

7.

Column G  –

Adjusted cost/service equals the dollar amount in Column  F, times each relative value of Column C. This amount represents the cost for each specific service. Column F x Column C.

8.

Column H  –

Equals the purchase expense per pharmaceutical unit. To arrive at an average per unit purchase expense, for Attachment D, Column H, when several brands of a pharmaceutical are purchased at different prices you will divide the total dollar value of those pharmaceuticals consumed during that period by the total number of units of those pharmaceuticals consumed during the same reporting period.

9.

Column I  –

Total base cost equals adjusted cost/service plus per unit purchase expense. Column G + Column H.

10.

Column J  –

Cost of living allowance (COLA). Use the most recent consumer price index provided by IDPH.

11.

Column K  –

Adjusted cost equals total base cost in Column I times Column J, cost of living allowance (COLA)% plus 100%.

Example:

 

$4.60 X 105% = $4.83

12.

Column L  –

The full fee to be charged and should approximate Column K. For convenience round up to nearest dollar.
