Hospital Health Fund Fees – DRG Fees

When new contracts are negotiated with health funds, amended fees need to be loaded into FYDO to facilitate a seamless IFC & Billing process.
The DRG Fees tab allows the entry of any contracted fees pertaining to DRGs.
For more information on adding Same Day Fees, please see our page
Hospital Health Fund Fees – Same Day Fees Set Up

DRG Fees are also able to be imported into FYDO from an Excel file. Please see our instructional wiki page below to find out how to do this:
Hospital Health Fund Fees – Importing DRG Fees

  1. Fees can be entered in Settings > Hospital > Fees Setup
  2. For multi location databases, ensure the correct Location is selected
  3. Use the Fund drop down to select the required health fund
  4. The Start of Current Fee date indicates the date that the Current Fees will be utilised from. Any episode from before the start date will utilise the Old Fees (See Same Day Fee Instructions to amend these dates)
  5. The End of Current Fee date indicates the date that the Current Fees will expire. Users will still be able to create IFC’s for admissions after the End of Current Fee date. However, the system will prohibit billing for episodes that fall after this date. (This date isn’t mandatory. However, it is a good way to ensure accounts aren’t accidentally billed at outdated prices)
  6. Select the DRG Fees tab
  7. Search for the required DRG or to update all fees click Edit
  8. If entering amended prices, use the Click to Move Current Charge into Old Charge option so that the fees listed in the current contracted fees can be moved into the Old fees fields
