HOSPITAL EVENT FORM

1. VERIFY ALL PATIENT(S)

First, I’d like to review the patient(s) in our study who reported receiving care from your practice or facility during 2010. I’m going to read their names to you, and for each one please confirm whether the patient received health care services from you during the calendar year 2010.

For each of the patient(s) you confirm as receiving care during the calendar year 2010, I’ll need to ask about services you provided and charges for those services. I will ask about each confirmed patient individually.

READ EACH PATIENT NAME FROM THE LIST. IF THE PERSON ON THE PHONE SAYS “NO”, ASK: Did the patient receive services in some year other than 2010, or do you have no records at all?

FOR EACH LISTED PATIENT, CHOOSE A RESPONSE FROM THE DROP-DOWN LIST IN THE PATIENT CONFIRMATION COLUMN BELOW.

ONCE YOU CONFIRM A PATIENT FOR 2010, CLICK ON THE NAME OF THAT PATIENT AND COMPLETE THE EVENT FORM(S) FOR THAT PATIENT.

2. PATIENT DISAVOWAL

Finally, I need to review with you the patient(s) in the list who you indicated did not receive care during the calendar year 2010.

3. CLOSE OUT THE CALL

Thank you for your time.

Do you have any (more) medical events for (PATIENT NAME) for 2010?

[SYSTEM WILL SET UP AS A LOOP, SO NO LIMIT ON CPT-4 CODES REQUIRED] A6b. ASK FOR EACH CPT-4 CODE OR DESCRIPTION: What was the full established charge for this service, before any adjustments or discounts? EXPLAIN IF NECESSARY: The full established charge is the charge maintained in the hospital’s master fee schedule for billing insurance carriers and Medicare or Medicaid. It is the “list price” for the service, before consideration of any discounts or adjustments resulting from contractual arrangements or agreements with insurance plans. IF NO CHARGE: Some facilities that don’t charge for each individual service do associate dollar amounts with services for purposes of budgeting or cost analysis. This is sometimes called a “charge equivalent.” Could you give me the charge equivalent(s) for (this/these) procedure(s)? NOTE: WE NEVER ENTER $0 FOR A CHARGE IF SPECIFIC CHARGE WAS APPLIED TO ANOTHER SERVICE, ENTER -4 IF CHARGES ARE APPLIED TO ANOTHER LINKED EVENT, ENTER -5 C2.
