Inpatient Per Diems

Inpatient per diem rates are fixed daily rates for hospital inpatient services. These rates are negotiated and may vary by service type or patient category.

Turquoise includes inpatient per diem rates in the MRF by detailing the negotiated per diem amounts for various inpatient services. When complex adjustments or additional factors impact the rate (such as with IPF Medicare per diems), we include these details in the algorithm field.
