A patient's total bill is $4,200. Insurance pays $3,150. What percentage did insurance pay?
Answer: 75%
Percentage paid = ($3,150 ÷ $4,200) × 100 = 75%.
A physician's gross income is $280,000/year. If overhead expenses are 42%, what is the net income?
Answer: $162,400
Overhead = 42% × $280,000 = $117,600; net income = $280,000 − $117,600 = $162,400.
A patient receives a 30-day supply of medication with 3 refills allowed. What is the total day supply the patient can receive?
Answer: 120 days
Total = original fill + 3 refills = 4 × 30 days = 120 days.
A coder has 216 charts to review in 4 days, working 6 hours per day. How many charts must be completed per hour?
Answer: 9
Total hours = 4 × 6 = 24; charts per hour = 216 ÷ 24 = 9.
A claim shows a billed amount of $500, an allowed amount of $350, and a patient copay of $40. How much will the insurance pay after the copay?
Answer: $310
Insurance pays = allowed amount − copay = $350 − $40 = $310.
A hospital collects $1.2 million in revenue. If 6.5% goes to bad debt, how much is lost to bad debt?
