PPS SCIC Utility - automatically determine if including or ignoring a specific SCIC would work in your agency's best financial interest.

The SCIC utility will automatically determine if including or ignoring a specific SCIC would work in your agency's best financial interest. The determination to include or exclude a SCIC will happen during billing to allow enough time for all the relevant SCICs and Visits to be posted. TimeTrack® will check if adding up the SCICs would yield a higher payment compared to ignoring the SCIC in its entirety or portion of it. SCIC that will pay you less (patient improved) will always be recognized and included.

Example:

Patient admitted on 10/02/2000 with grouper C1F0S0 for a total amount of $2,000.00. First Billable visit is 10/03/2000. RAP amount is $1,200.00. Patient went into the hospital. Last billable visit before hospitalization is 10/12/2000 (first grouper span of days is 10). Patient returned to agency's care on 10/15/2000 with a new grouper (SCIC) C2F0S0 for a total amount of $2,500.00. Patient went into the hospital again. Last billable visit before second hospitalization is 10/24/2000 (second grouper span of days is 10). Patient returned to agency's care on 10/26/2000 with another new grouper (SCIC) C2F2S0 for a total amount of $3000.00. Patient remained in agency's care until 10/30/2000 and got discharged (third grouper span of days is 5). The above has 3 possible computations:

1. Agency can recognize the 2 SCICs. The total for the episode will be ($333.33+$416.67+$250.00 = $1,000.00)

2. Agency can recognize only the first SCIC and ignore the second SCIC. The total for the episode will be ($333.33+$625.00 = $958.33)

3. Agency can ignore the two SCIC's. The total for the episode will be $2,000.00.

The new SCIC utility will automatically make this comparison and choose the third option to be the best option in the agency's best interest with a difference of $1,000.00.

This valuable utility can be made available to you for only $1,495.00 per installation (plus CA sales Tax). It can pay for itself on your next SCIC.

Along with this option you can purchase another utility that will look back in time on all of your existing "Billed" episodes and will identify and report to you on possible lost revenues resulting from including or excluding SCICs. You can purchase the SCIC Analysis Report for an additional $295.00 per installation (plus CA sales Tax).
