Calculating Total CMS Relative Weight
Multiply the “CMS Relative Weight” by the total number of cases (patients) in the DRG group
![Page 14: Case Mix Management](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816337550346895dd3c535/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Calculating Medicare Payment
Multiply the reimbursement per case by the number of cases performed
![Page 19: Case Mix Management](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816337550346895dd3c535/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Example Three
A facility has 22 Medicare cases which are reimbursed at $6,175 per case.
What is the total Medicarereimbursement for all of the cases?
![Page 20: Case Mix Management](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816337550346895dd3c535/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Answer
$135,850.00
$6,175 x 22
![Page 21: Case Mix Management](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816337550346895dd3c535/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Example FourA facility has 59 Medicare cases that are
assigned to DRG 175 which has a relative weight of 0.9557.
If the hospital PPS rate is $4,200, what is the total reimbursement for all of the cases?
![Page 22: Case Mix Management](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816337550346895dd3c535/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Answer$236,822.46Step One: Calculate the reimbursement
per case0.9557 x $4,200 (PPS rate) = $4,013.94Step Two: Multiply by the number of
cases$4,013.94 x 59 = $236,822.46

Calculating Case Mix Index
The total number of CMS Relative Weights divided by the total number of patients served.
![Page 24: Case Mix Management](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816337550346895dd3c535/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Example FiveThe top ten DRG surgical procedures
performed by a facility have a total CMS Relative Weight of 45.8775.
If the total number of patients served is 29, what is the Case-Mix Index for the facility?
![Page 25: Case Mix Management](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816337550346895dd3c535/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Answer
1.5819
44.8775 / 29 = 1.5819
![Page 26: Case Mix Management](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816337550346895dd3c535/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Example SixThe top ten DRG medical procedures
performed by a facility have a total CMS Relative Weight of 23.6651
If the number of patients served is 55, what is the Case-Mix Index for the facility?
![Page 27: Case Mix Management](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816337550346895dd3c535/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Answer
0.4302
23.6651 / 55 = 0.43027 or 0.43028

Recap The case mix of a patient population is a
description of that population based on any number of characteristics.
Case-Mix indexes are used to describe a population that is being served, to determine reimbursement, and to identify differences in practice patterns or coding complexity.
The most commonly used Case-Mix Index uses disease conditions and/or procedures to determine resource use.

Recap (cont.) Severity of Illness case-mix methodologies
were developed to address concerns that traditional case-mix methodologies do not capture the severity of an illness.
Risk Adjustment is any method used to compare the severity of illness in one group of patients in comparison to the severity of illness in another group of patients. Used make a fair comparison of diverse populations and treatment patterns
