Capturing patient charges yields actual costs per procedure or diagnosis and thus assists the finance department in the negotiation of managed care contracts. Proponents also argue that capturing patient charges allows close monitoring of costs.
Oppenents argue that patient charges have no direct impact on the reimbursement received by the healthcare facility and that there is no positive impact on the CS/SPD budget. In fact, some patient charge systems are labor -intensive.
