You can put this solution on YOUR website! You have been asked to set a rate for a surgicenter. Costs are budgeted to be 4,000,000 per year for projected surgical procedures of 7,000.
----------------------
The surgicenter expects that 50% of its procedures will be Medicare and that Medicare will pay 550.00 per procedure.
----------------------
The remainder will be charge payers at an expected discount of 29%.
If a profit of 400,000 is required, what rate per procedure is required?
------------------------
Cost = $4,000,000
Revenue = 550*3500 + (0.81r)(3500)
----
Profit = Revenue - Cost
Solve: 550*3500 + (0.81*r)(3500)-4,000,000 > 400,000
rate = $873.02 per procedure
