ST. PAUL, MN — (Marketwired) — 10/17/13 — , a company specializing in provider coding, compliance, reimbursement and financial systems and services, today announced that it has hospital inpatient and outpatient claims as well as physician claims data by specialty and region through the period ending December 2012. With this information, providers can evaluate and improve the defensibility of their charge description master (CDM) pricing. This data, along with Panacea-s innovative technology, custom peer group benchmarks, average or median medical/surgical or ICU room rates, can be developed and incorporated into pricing models.
“Providers continue to face intense scrutiny from state and federal governments, the press and the public, making it critical to have adequate tools and resources in place to establish rational and defensible prices. Panacea is proud that we can make this timely data available through our cloud-based technology, and combined with our industry-leading consulting services. These tools facilitate the efficient and effective re-alignment of hospital chargemaster and physician chargemaster prices based on benchmarks and parameters that include customized peer group market data, actual unit cost, payor fee schedules, payor contract terms and more. With this hospital and physician approach each and every line item in our client CDM can be defended and documented while ensuring that net operating revenue is consistent with objectives,” stated Frederick Stodolak, CEO at Panacea Healthcare Solutions, Inc.
