Showing Discounted Charges
40.6.2 - Showing Discounted Charges
(Rev. 1, 10-01-03)
SNF-517.11
The SNFs do not show credit or minus entries on the bill. Where the SNF gives a
discount to some patients, they show charges in one of two ways:
1. SNFs show the charges as the full, undiscounted charge if full undiscounted charge
data is accumulated for all patients for the purposes of the final cost report; or
2. They show the discounted charges as the only charges, if the SNF, for the purposes
of the final cost report, accumulates charges for all patients at the discounted rate.
