Do you work in the finance department or business office at your facility? Are you part of a clinical documentation improvement team looking to implement a successful program? Are you a coding manager trying to improve how your staff reports complications and comorbidities (CC) and major CCs?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might be interested in the IPPS PC Pricer. This easy-to-use software calculates payments for discharges October 1–September 30 for a given fiscal year. Surprisingly, it’s relatively unknown among facility workers.
